I got a call early this morning from my sister telling me her husband was blown up in Afghanistan. So far, all we know is he was hit by an IED, they've amputated his left leg, and they're considering him to be in 'very serious' condition. There were 13 in his unit that were (at least) wounded in the attack.
Please keep them in your T&Ps..... He's a father of two, and the PIP is him with his youngest son, who was about 6 weeks old when he left.
ETA update: We have since learned that his left leg was amputated below the knee, and he had a second surgery to repair severed arteries in his right leg and right arm. He's been considered stable enough to transport, and is being flown out to Germany this evening. I'm flying tomorrow to be with my sister and the little ones.
Thank you all so very much for your thoughts, prayers, and kind words!
