My friend Jennifer sends this update on her husband:
Steven called at 1:10 pm today. He is doing as well as he can. He has significant hearing loss. He will be starting some Combat Stress classes as he is not doing well mentally with what has happened. There were some that lost limbs and then there was a guy Steven thought he was either Korean or Phillipeno that died in his arms. Steven can’t get his face out his mind and they are trying to put him on pills. I told him to talk to the priest they have there or chaplain or somebody.
He was grateful for all the prayers. Everyone doesn’t know how he made it out alive since he was sent flying into the wall of the bus without any helmet. But we know and we are thankful to God for his blessings.
Ben thinks this is what happened. This is a bit frightening because Camp Victory is supposed to be so safe. Ben spent a lot of time on this compound when he was in Iraq and I always felt at ease (as much as you can with a loved one in Iraq). This is where Dave started out his deployment before changing jobs.
Please continue to pray.
