As some of you know, my cousin's son Michael was injured while on duty in Afghanistan. An IED detonated, injuring several in his party as well as killing at least 3 others. Michael's injuries were not life threatening but as the days have gone on, we have learned that it was necessary to remove his left eye. The doctors tried to save his right eye, but the damages were also too great. He has now lost sight of both eyes. He sustained several other injuries including, shrapnel from the explosive device, wounds to his neck and left shoulder, a broken jaw, facial wounds and more. We have been praying for Michael's recovery. He is facing more surgery in the near future. He has a great attitude, and we are all thankful that he survived with his life. His relatives in Colorado are putting together some fundraisers. Laci, along with our friend Jenn Dunn are planning on doing the same here. If you would like to help, or donate items for an auction, please let us know. More info to come when we get the details worked out. A donation account has been set up in Michael's behalf to help support him on the long journey to recovery. If you would like to donate you can do so at any Wells Fargo Location, to the following account:
