Prayers are needed for one of our American heroes. Last week a Blackhawk was shot down by an RBG north of Baghad. The RPG went through the bottom of the aircraft through the cockpit, taking off the pilots legs, and out the top to the rotor system. The co-pilot was able to land the chopper.
The pilot is staff officer Maj Tammy Duckwrth, HHC 1st Bn 106 Avn...she has been transported to Walter Reed and is now in danger of losing an arm.
Update (11/19/04):
Tammy is in ICU and will be there for several more weeks. She is heavily sedated and periodically fights through the sedation and opens her eyes, her mother is there with her. Her color, temp and heart rate has returned to normal but is being kept on a breathing tube as she will have surgeries about every other day to repair her legs. Next week the doctors are going to begin to rebuild the bones in her arm. They are using new cutting edge equipment which has recently passed some clinical/prototypical type testing, in fact, Tammy will be the first they have used this on. She is getting a viable blood supply to her arm, but the nerve bundles have been greatly damaged.
Barring any infection, the wonderful doctors assure us she will survive. One thing that saved her life was her body armor, she had no internal injuries...amazing!
Once again, thank you all for your prayers.
