Update on LCpl. Renehan

I just got out of AIM with Spence, the brother of LCpl. Kyle Renehan, and I have some updated information.

Because of some difficulty with the wounds to his leg, they are giving him a transfusion and are holding him in Iraq until the wound closes enough to make air travel safer. He is still sedated heavily and basically unconscious.

He will remain in Iraq until tomorrow night. They will start the process of waking him tomorrow, and reassess any damage to his brain. LCpl Chris will remain with him until he is moved, which is very good for Kyle. I'm sure he is talking Kyle's ear off, and that's good for both of them at this point.

Spence also said that he appreciates all of the kindness shown during this situation. Good and wonderful people have been hitting the Paypal link and doing what they can to assist his family, and it was overwhelming.

If you can help with prayer, please do so for Kyle and for his parents who are taking this very hard and need your support. If you can help with the finances, please go to Spence's page and drop a little change in the kitty.

[Mamamontezz: Spence has asked that we take down the link at this time. His parents will not need to fly to Germany, as they are not going to keep him there for any length of time before flying him to Bethesda Naval Hospital. He appreciates the generosity and prayers of all of everyone.]
