Update on Philip Lancaster, my nephew.
Got Sad news:
I got some sad news, my nephew in Iraq, his unit was under attack, he was in a humvee and a bullet hit a roadside IED device, detonated the bomb. My nephew was sitting on that side, he was knocked unconscious, and they thought he was dead with all the blood on him & there was no response, Thank God he wasn’t, he had a face and head wound, full of schrapnel. Last word we got is that he is in a hospital and they think he will be ok.
February, you konw of the incident, where his humvee hit the IED, and he was hurt, schrapnel in his back. then a few months before that same type of incident, where he was ok but his sgt major was killed. I thank God for all his protection for the soldiers. There is another soldier,a helicopterpilot I know through friends, that had a helicopter incident. Article is here if you wish to read it. I do believe that is the same attack my nephew was in, but on the ground. Philip is in Basra.
here is an article about the helicopter/Basra

I thank you all for the prayers you have said for Philip, as you see they work, He is alive, Thank God. I just wonder how much a body can take.
My sister is off work for a month, she is so stressed out by all this, she took a sleep apnea test and she stops breathing 76 times in one hour. Plus she has stomach problems. I know how I feel about Philip, and my sister, being the mother is worse.
Thank you for all the kindness and support you have given towards Philip
