Yay! David has his right hand and has arrived in Germany! All day yesterday we were concerned as to why he was still in Afghanistan. We may never no why they kept him there for a few days, but we are delighted that he has arrived in Germany and we have had some contact with the medical team there. When Gordon called he talked with the charge nurse and she said that she was standing right there looking at him and she sees 10 fingers! Wow! What a blessing! However we are saddened to hear that the bilateral amputations of his legs that were once thought to be below the knee are actually now above the knee. His belly is open because they had to operate earlier on an arterial bleed and rod his pelvis so it is more stable.
