We received an update this afternoon on our Winona Lake friend...

"the swelling of the brain has gone down, they were able to re-analyze him, the bullet is in his skull and not his brain, he has extensive damage to his nasal passage, and his tongue is destroyed. They did surgery to fix his jaw, what they could to the tongue, his nasal passages and his eye, which it appears he’ll be blind in one of them. After surgery, the nurse asked him if he could hear and understand her, he squeezed her hands in confirmation. He will be in the hospital for the next 6 weeks probably recovering with a feeding tube, etc."

If you read Steve's blog sorry for the duplicate... if you read just my blog here is the update. You know -I know (of course I do) my husband is very opinionated at times but his blog today says it ALL! Please take a moment and read it.
