IED Injury. Please pray

[robin48]

A young friend of my family who is serving in the Marine Corps has been injured by an IED in Afghanistan. We heard he had been killed then heard he had been severely injured. Please pray for him. We call him CB. Thanks

Done. We'll keep him in our prayers.

Just sent one up for him. God bless him and his family.

He has lost both legs and a hand, serious injury to every damn thing. My heart is broken. I mentored this young man he is like a son to me.

I am so sorry... prayers up.

Even with the injuries, I'm glad he's alive. Hopefully he will recover successfully with the help of family, friends, and organizations like The Wounded Warrior Project. God bless him, his family, and those who will help and guide him along his road to recovery.

God bless him. Prayers for him and his family. I simply cannot express my sadness when one of ours is lost or injured.

Just saw this on the news. Realized I know his step-mom (a Shelby Co Deputy). Sad to hear, but very glad he's alive. He'll remain in my thoughts. If you hear of anything they're going to do for him, please let us know.

oh man, that's terrible. I will definitely keep him in my prayers, and hope for a speedy and full recovery. When he recovers, tell him thanks for his service and sacrifice to our country for me.

As an army vet, if he needs any help getting things done through the VA , don't hesitate to get a hold of me, and I'll be glad to help him out in any way. I know what forms, who to talk to, and how to get things done at the VA Hospitals. Someone helped me out when I got out, I'll be glad to help someone else out.

The V.A. can be a tricky and confusing obstacle course to navigate if you don't what to do or who to talk to or where to go. Once he recovers, please stress to him that before he signs any discharge papers, to go get a full physical, and he needs to list any pains in any of his extremities, anywhere in his body, no matter how minimal, any medical issues that have arisen, any sleep disorders (sleep apnia, insomnia) and to get a full mental evaluation done and to disclose anything that's bothering him at all. Depression, ptsd, anxiety, fear of something, emotional issues, whatever it is, and to make sure the Dr. documents it in his notes and to get copies of his past military medical records ASAP, and to get duplicate copies of everything currently going on with him up to the point of discharge. The military has a way of "losing" medical records, with no explanation as to how they disappear or where they went. Without those records, any claim he files with the Dept of Veterans Affairs will be denied.

No disability, no medical, no dental, no vision, no VA Voc Rehab, no GI Bill, or anything.
