Babies: 9 - 12 Months

F/U: to DH being shot.

He's fine. Doing well, complaining as usual. I told him he needs to take a shower b/c he smells like the hospital.

Ick!

They caught the shooter that night. Aparently there was a short car chase in which the shooter got out and ran. He was then tracked down by the police K-9 unit. The detective told me that he had a felony arrest warrant on him for a robbery and he just got out of prison months ago.

He also said that he would probably be charged with felony assualt and with the weapons charge he would serve a minium of 5 years, no good time option. And seriously in a way I'm glad this happened with little harm done. This kid (he's 21 y/o) is hell bent on destroying lives, his own and others that he comes in contact with. If this hadn't have happen God only knows what would have. So H took one for the team in a sense.

The girl was detained and released. She got H's number from Cousin and called him yesterdayto tell him how sorry she was for taking the car and that she was just really scared. I knew that was the case and I honestly don't blame her but at the same time that doesn't fix my car or get me to work. She said she's willing to pay for the damages but  I don't see that happening as she is young unemplyed, with 2 babies and doesn't really have any $.

  • Its a sad situation for all.  Im sorry that husband was shot, atleast it wasnt too serious.  Be thankful that the shooter had bad aim.  Hopefully the girl will try to straighten out her life a little bit.

  • What an unfortunate situation. I'm glad everyone is okay and the shooter was caught.
  • i'm glad your H is doing well...  get him into a shower!!!

    i'm also VERY glad they caught the guy!  is your H going to have to testify in court or anything?

  • Wow - crazy situation. Yeah, you will probably be paying for your own car repairs. Sucks, but could be much worse. I reiterate the idea that cousin and cousin's girl should not be in you or DH's fave five. Let them figure out their issues without involving y'all.
  • Glad that they caught the dude. It always saddens me when (and I'm going to sound ancient here) young people get caught up in foolishness. It creates a vicious cycle that his family/children are bound to get caught up in.
  • i'm really impressed how strong you're being about this. a lot of people would be all poor me, but the fact that you're seeing the bigger picture is so wonderful. i think it is tragic that your husband got shot, but you are so right that this kid needs to be off the streets. personally i think they should be charging him with attempted murder rather than just felony assault, but maybe they think they have a better case that way. i'm sure they know what they're doing. good luck about the car..... that seems like a total mess.?

  • I'm glad he's better.  That is soo scary!  I hope the car gets fixed too.

       You know he's gonna be milking his injury for all the sympathy he can...."But babe I was SHOT."  I'd be milking it.  Big time.  Wink

    I'm so glad your DH is o.k.  That was kind of surreal, yesterday.

    that depends on whether or not it goes to trial, which at this point I have no clue. But he says if it does, he will.

    And Happily - lol @ fave five. Yes, he knows, we've talked about that. This girl was at our house last weekend for a BBQ and that was the last time. Like I said I feel for the girl, but I have my baby to worry about and I do not need her kind of drama.

    Thanks Southern!

  • I also think you are being super strong in this.  My comment above was just to interject some humor but might have come off as insensitive.  If so, I'm sorry. 

      I can't imagine how I'd be if my DH had been in that situation.  I'm really glad that he's doing better.

    It is all good. Your comment made me laugh and YES he is already milking it. He asked for chicken noodle soup last night. Like he was sick with the flu. It made me laugh. My mom is a nurse and she said that since it didn't hit the bone and went straight through  that his recovery should be fairly speedy as long as it doesn't get infected. So he can milk it for a while but once he's back to doing things he WANTS to do (I figure thats a good way to tell if he's ok) and he pulls the "but I was shot" then he'll have to suck it up.

  • WOW I didn't see the OP but I wanted to say I'm glad he's ok.

     You are in WA?  I just tried looking it up on the net and didn't see anything!  Crazy stuff, where are you in WA?  

    My DH is a Trooper, I know I'd handle it just like you if he were shot.  Good job for being such a strong wife!

  • I'm just so glad he's ok... hopefully you won't have to deal with any more of the drama associated with that situation for much longer and you can move on.  I was in WA, I would have your back girl. :)
  • Damn, what a mess. I don't blame her for being scared and looking out for herself only (especially wit two kiddos) but damn, I hope she somehow has that money.?

    I hope that kid gets the book thrown at him.

    And I will continue to pray for your DH's healing. *hugs* to you three?

  • You have an awesome attitude towards this.  I'm glad you're not like, "Why did this have to happen to my family?"  Not that you shouldn't be able to say that, I just think you're being so strong, good for you!  I'm glad your DH is ok, hope the car situation works itself out!
