Prayers appreciated for young Marine

Prayers appreciated for a young Marine in our life - Until '05 I pastored with his father in Upstate NY - I watched this boy grow up - always wanting to be a Marine.

Long story short - 3rd tour in Afghanistan - just got a call yesterday that he stepped on an IED and lost a few toes, along with some ankle damage. Being flown back as we speak. No one else in his team was injured.

We are told the mud absorbed a lot of the blast

will post updates as they become available

Prayers appreciated for him and his family

Thanks

UPDATE ON SHANE: He just called again from Afghanistan. He will be leaving for Germany today or tomorrow for more surgery on ankle then back to the States. He is not sure if he will be in Lejeune or DC depends on how bad the ankle is. He will have several months of physical therapy and was told that he should be back 100% by the time his Unit returns back to the States in July. He is doing good and misses his family and Marines. Will keep everyone posted! Keep the prayers going!!

Unlucky to trigger an IED; lucky it wasn’t worse. Few survive actually stepping on one. Hang tough, young man, and rejoin your brothers quickly.
