Well yesterday the Army sent a burn team to Germany from Texas to get with him and bring him back to Texas. They will leave Germany today sometime. I will leave tomorrow morning very early and drive the 6 hours to San Antonio. The Army will buy me air fair, but with all the waiting (and the airport is about 2 away hours it self) and then flying to there and then get transportation to the hotel I figure I will be more comfortable just driving and they pay my expenses anyway.
We keep getting a little more info each time we talk to the doctors and the Army so it's tough I don't mind telling you. When I get back probably Sunday I will get a update on here. We are starting to hear more about the reconstruction of his body and I just would like to take his place if you know what I mean.
thank you all and all of my family appreciate your prayers and support. I know he does as well as we have spoke many times about this in the last few years.
We are all getting more and more relaxed as he gets closer to home and that is not going to be easy, but it's much better than being so far away. I am so thankful he's being kept pretty much out of it and that is best so he doesn't have to feel all the pain as they wash his burn wounds. They tell us that is a 2-3 hour thing and they seem to be doing that a couple of times today.
He has had something like 8 surgery's so far, but I think that includes cleaning his tissue damage on his buttocks. There are other things but I want to just keep that for now.
Thanks again all,

San Antiono has the best burn unit in the world. I was burned in 1970 and spent 3 mths in their burn unit, had 2nd and 3rd degree burns. Hang in their, they'll give him the best medical treatment that's offered.
My prayer's are with you and your family.
