Let's hope that your son received the quick medical attention he needs to pull through. Hopefully, the Red Cross can give you real time information? I am only too familiar with your anxiety.... son #1 did 3 tours of Afghanistan, 2 in Iraq and is heading over there again in December. Son #2 did 3 stints in Iraq and honorably discharged. (They were both in Iraq simultaneously at one point) THAT was a nail biter for sure!
Please, please, please update us with positive news soon!
