Well my son was suppose to graduate on Sept. 9th div 295. But he broke his hand and is now delayed.  He is now in a div 2341 and we are waiting to see where he will go from here. He is hoping to get his cast off and get right back into things i'm worried that only two weeks in a cast wont be enough for him to heal and make the rest of his training difficult. Does anyone know what he is doing while he is in this medical unit?

Update on Justen cast comes off on September 13th and he will not be having a pir he will graduate and go right to Florida . I'm sad but he says if he wants a PIR it could take him longer to get out of there and he ready to get going on his A school.

Well, the latest from Tyler is that they are sending him home.I ask him to sign a waiver so I could correspond with the drs. but havent heard anything. They have done mri and ruled out pinched nerve. apparently things are worse. He said something about muscular dystrophy. That horrifies me. I wonder if they do genetiiic testing? does anyone know? If theky send him home it will be a general  discharge because he has only been in about 90 days. He needs everyones prayers.

Comment by Tylers grandma on September 19, 2011 at 9:49am
I was looking at some of the other blogs and none of the parents heard from there loved ones yesterday. I have no clue whats going on. I hope you hear from Justin soon. Tyler said that they suspect that he has muscular dystrophy. I am worried sick. He said it would take a couple weeks to get him medically ready to travel/ I wish I would hear something. This is making me sick. Shirley
