How are you doing, think about you almost everyday, I know it is nice to have him to yourself and be right there! Big Hugs. I can not find the message that your profile says that you left for us about your arrival.
Welcome to Heads at Ease AuxLady! We are glad to have you join us. I am very sorry for the health issues for both you and your son. I will pray for you.
Hey Sharon, Just dropping in on your N4M page and got the news that you got travel in future to be with Brian and see that little one....John and I still having positive thoghts and sending them your way...Maine is just starting to show green grass and all the yard work that will keep us busy. Keep the great work at PT goin my friend, it's a battle but the rewards are waiting for you very soon... :-) Tell Brian that Bill and Julie are engaged and each doing very well, and love Virginia area . Best thoughts go with you and yours.
i just received a note from Sharon's dear friend and she tells me that Brian is still receiving treatments and as soon as he is able he will be sent to a hospital in Jacksonville Fl which is closer to the apartment where he lives with his wife and baby.
Lois closed her note to me with this....
Keep praying for her and Brian...it means so much to them! Tell the Navyformoms they are truly wonderful people to surround them with their care & concern!
Hope this day has maybe been better than the last! I have been praying for you and your family and Brian. Soo sorry for what has happened to you both!! I would be happy to do what I can to help you. If you need me to drive to Atlanta on a sat or sun, or off day during the week I can do that !! It is not a bad drive. Tell him this just gives him more time to study for his E4 exam. No reason why he shouldn't pass now huh.Keep us posted and I have sent his name out to several people. Have you heard of Caring Bridge? You can do a journal there of his journey. A friend of mine that is still going to Emory did hers. Maybe I should get her email for you , she would be a big help with the drs at Emory and the procedures. Prayers to you my N4M friend!
i heard about your son. my thought and prayers are with you and your family. please keep us informed, either from you or through connie. if there is anything we can do let us know also.
Sharon - Just wanted to let you know that I am praying for your Sailor and your family. My son is also at King's Bay and Brian's fellow Sailors there are praying for him also.
Heard about your Sailor son from Connie on the Sailor Rescue page. Just wanted to let you know that I am praying for your son and your recovery also. Blessings!
Hi, according to my son, yes some weeks were harder than others. Towards the end they were tested quite a bit. It is definately a "Crash" course, but well worth it. If your son would like to get intouch with my son, send me a private message and I shall give you his e-mail. He is currently stationed in Patuxent River, Maryland for the next two years.
Hi, since you appear to have a Sailor in San Antonio, you may want to join San Antonio MA's I put a Discussion on there called "Break down week by week" that might help you. You will find a lot of useful info in that group that is specific to the training there. I wish you and your soon-to-be MA all the best.
thanks for the note. and always good to hear from you. just got off the phone and whew what a relief to know that he is feeling better. has finished his meds. have a safe trip to GL !!!!
