I'm not sure if my husband will care about me writing something like this, but it seriously scares me, and I just want to get it off my chest! He's been over the pond 3 times now, and was told yesterday he has a traumatic brain injury and severe PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). He is now being helped with this, and I'm so glad, it's not like he's "gone nuts" here at home, but I've noticed severe changes in him each time he came home, and I'm very glad he finally reached out for help. He can still do his job, and does awesome with it too, so no worries about being medically discharged, so that's great news, but he will be seeing docs a little more often now. I know all I can do is keep supporting him and of course keep loving him!
On a positive note, he was told a few days ago that he has been selected to be Instructor of the Cycle! They are going to vote on it soon, so we'll see if he gets it for real, that would rock! Although it's not any more moolah LOL! It is his first time being an instructor, so even being selected is an awesome honor!! He told me that they said no one has ever taught like he has, he gets the class involved, shares experiences and shows examples of how to save lives. He's an awesome medic and this is just another thing to prove how great he really is at his job! I'm just glad he doesn't have to go over the pond again for a couple years anyways!

We will be keeping him in prayers, I know it is stressing and scarey but if its any consolation alot of the soldiers that go over that pond come back with same diagnoses and it is taught in psych quite heavily and I know through prayer and support and medical help God will see you all through it along with your family and friends!
