Update on Jeff is that he is doing fine. He has passed a stone. He is still being watched in the Baghdad hospital but should be going back to the medical facility at his own base in 2 or 3 days.
We have now learned that kidney stones are pretty common in our soldiers over there. Seems they eat a lot of Tums for stress. They remain dehydrated much of the time due to the heat and the fact that most of them don’t like to drink a lot of water.
That’s sad news for our folks serving but it also means that the hospitals are well equipped and used to treating this.
God bless you all,

Thanks for the update on Jeff. Nothing like trying to pass a golf ball through a soda straw:-(

Glad to hear he’s doing better. Internet troubles here in the Southland. Grrr. DSL has been up less than 10 minutes since Saturday!
