this morning i got wonderful news! justin is doing much better, and he has been moved from Afghanistan {i was wrong about his original location} and is in Germany now. he was in surgery all day. the bad news is that they ended up having to amputate his left leg too.{from the knee down. that was the leg that he only lost his foot} turns out that there was just to much damage on that leg. but sounds like he is in much better shape. he must no longer be critical because they were able to move him. :) he should be back in the u.s. this weekend. and the military will fly 3 of his family members to maryland to stay with him. isn't that great! i am sure it will be his dad {my uncle}, mom, and sister. i wish i could go. but sounds like he will be in california when he is done in maryland. i guess there is a rehab center out there that he is probably going to be sent to. he will be in maryland for a month. so i will get to see him when he is here. *sigh* i am so relieved! i can't thank you all enough for your energy and time! i know with out a shadow of a doubt that you all helped keep him with us. thank from the bottom of my heart. you know, before he left i did a spell for protection and i asked bran the blessed to watch over him. i really think that helped. it could've been worse. and all day yesterday i felt comfort and reassurance when i saw a crow. i think bran was telling me that he was going to be alright. now i am just worried for his well being. for his mental state. he was the sargent, i just hope that no one else was seriously hurt or died. i don't know how he would deal with that. i just kept saying to my mom, at least he's still alive. then i said. i hope he feels the same way... you all have already done so much for us, but if you can keep him in your thoughts i would appreciate it. he still has a long road ahead of him. i hope that he will be ok. i'm gonna keep pumping him with all i've got. i hope it helps.

once again i want to thank you all so much. i know that my family has no idea that you all helped so much, but i know. and i know that they would all be thanking you right now. i felt it last night and all day today. i never lost hope, i always knew he'd be ok, and i have you all to thank for that. i have never met more compassionate, wonderful, giving people in all my life. i am honored to know you, and i cherish each and everyone of you. thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

love you all. (((((((((((hugs))))))))))))) ~♥~ alysia ~♥~
