Dan in The USA, BUT ARMY MAY NOT SEND THEM TO SEE HIM


What's a parent to do? Here's a pic to tribute to the faithful, loving, never ending praying parents of Daniel. The parents who have faith that God will help them know what to do and when. But I know it must still hurt, wanting to be with him, yet not able. This Is the latest from Friday Morning:

Daniel is on his way home!!! We called Germany early this morning and Dan has been discharged and is on the plane headed for the USA!!! Yea!!! He will be at Walter Reed sometime this evening.

Because Dan has been taken off of the SI List (seriously injured list), he will most probably be redirected back to Ft. Bragg, which is his home base. The Womack Hospital on the base is expecting his arrival sometime Saturday afternoon. Because it is the weekend, paperwork will not be completed and filed until Monday morning. Because he may be considered an outpatient, the military may not transport us, his family, down to see him.

In the midst of all the good news about Dan, there is some frustration on my part that the timing on things seems to keep us from being able to act on our impulses to just get down there, wherever "there" may be, to see our son. I am reminded daily that our timing is not God's timing, nor are we any more special than all the other servicemen and women who are returning from the battlefront to their awaiting family members. I am so very grateful that Dan's wounds have been attended to in such a way that he is healing at a progressive rate and his outlook is very positive.

Bev's latest news:
"Daniel touched ground around 7 pm this evening. He is currently at Walter Reed Hospital in MD. The drs are reviewing his case,running tests, and x-rays. I will know more to tell you in the morning hopefully. The major on the transit bus called us about 7:30pm to let us know that she was
sitting right next to Dan. Then she handed him the phone! What a blessing!
Thank you Lord!
