More than proud of my girl!

The MRI results are in and she is fine. Thank you God! Scott & I took a collective breath! She is still being discharged for the headaches (which just kills me). She is still on ship 6 "sick bay" becuase she had to be put on antibiotics again for broncitis and a sinus infection they say she could have had for years. ?? I'm now wondering if this could aid in the headaches?

Anyway, she called after the MRI and then after the appt with the neurologist and she sounded great. I'm sure the stress… Continue

Her letters are great! She says she is bored. She’s in with the people who are having trouble passing PFT. Some of her letters are sad or depressed, but even those are kind of funny – her sense of humor is still there.

She is very scared about the medical situation and mad because she know’s she could have done boot camp with no problem. She’s says it was actually easier than she thought. Said she will never fold her clothes, write, make her bed, etc any other way. She says she has grown up, ta… Continue

First thanks to everyone one of you! For the dozens of birthday wishes, and for the prayers and concerns for Annmarie and my family.

She said she still has a slight headache but they gave her 600 mg of ibeprofen (sp?). She is currenlty in a division where people who do not pass their me… Continue

This was the most unexpected phone call I have ever received. Annmarie said she passed out and they took her to the hospital. Turns out she had a migrane and they are discharging her. We are all so upset. She has known she wanted to do this since she was in the 8th grade. Made her final decision the summer before Junior year and had us sign permission the week after she turned 17. She waited a full year on DEP before she left for Bootcamp and this happened the first week. It's now looking like t… Continue

Wow, I think I forgot what the waiting game was like. After years of waiting for the mailman and trying to figure out ways to get the mail there faster when my husband was in the Navy I'm back to it again. Annmarie's recruiter just called late yesterday with her address and I've mailed off two letters (one from her sister). I haven't received her box or letter yet, but she's only been gone a week so I dont expect it..... just WANT it!

Scott laughed at me yesterday. I told him about how I was re… Continue
