I am glad he feels better. I feel for him and you and your family for what you are going through now. I love my son so much and it is hard to watch them grow up. Try to remember that this is the stuff that teaches and makes them grow whatever happens. We can't take away everything and fix it anymore. But you are doing an excellant job of what you can and I feel God's hand in this!!

Sheryl, his health at the moment appears to be good. He had the severe reaction at week 2 or 3 of bootcamp. They treated it and he is fine. He is sweating it out in Ship 5. He says he is the only one there that wants to stay in.We keep telling him to keep fighting. Be the squeaky wheel! It always worked for me. Thanks for your words of encouragement.

Update. My wife is part of Navy for Moms. There has been a group of Moms writing letters on Todd's behalf. One of those Moms was just contacted by Senator Jon Kyl's office. It is amazing how many people have reached out to touch our son. Thank you! Thank you!

Wow, just when you think that you haven't got a prayer God throws us a line. We have just been contacted by Senator John McCain's office and Congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick of the great State of Arizona. Their Aides have said they would contact Todd and start an inquiry into the matter. While they could not, would not directly intervene with the Navy's decision our best hope is that they could ask the Navy to reconsider Todd's discharge. That is all we are asking for is another chance. Talk about chills running up my spine when I looked at the caller ID. Praise God!

Dr 2x4... Sheryl's correct. My wife always laughs at me when things go wrong and all I do is say, "Everything happens for a reason." I have to think this is true as she is a survivor of the WTC attack on 9/11 and those words have always been my source of comfort since then.

God is in charge. Whatever happens, the Navy isn't the only one deciding. God Bless you and your son. I think it will work out.

Thanks everyone for you words of support for our 'Nuke" Todd. The fat lady has not sang yet so we are hanging in there. Todd meets with legal today. He has filed an appeal about their decision to medically discharge him. It is great to continue to watch everyone else move toward their goals. We hope this is just a temporary setback for him. We hope that if the "Nuke" track is not open for him because of this that they could place him somewhere else. I know with this economy and the available pool of talent to choose from that they are making a logical business decision. Damn the logic! We believe he would make an outstanding United States Navy Sailor!
