This week, Stephen, Rich's youngest brother, was seriously injured in Afghanistan, where he had been with the US Army.
He was targeted by foes who, after a battle, detonated an IED under his Humvee. Stephen sustained serious injuries in both feet, ankles, one leg and one arm.
He has already undergone several surgeries in Afghanistan and in Landstuhl, Germany, where he is at the moment. He will soon be back in the USA for further treatment.
He will have a long path of rehabilitation ahead of him and was told that he would have to be in hospital for at least 4 1/2 months!
Here is an exerpt from an email from Carla, his wife (they have 2 little boys, age 3 and1):
"Please pray for the doctors, and that there will be strength and peace for our entire family, for the duration, that this would bring our entire family closer to God as we see his healing and feel his comfort. I am okay, just waiting, that is hard for me- it has been amazing to see people from our lives come forward and offer any kind of help, and earnestly pray for us- we feel blessed for that support."
It would be wonderful if you could pray for Stephen, Carla and the whole family!!!

Thank you so much, Andrea!!!
I'm a friend of Andrea's and my thoughts are with you and your family. I pray for the doctors to have clear minds so they can care for his injuries with knowledge and foresight. I pray that your family will find comfort and peace during this time. Bless Stephen with the strength to endure and courage to overcome this trial and bless Carla and their sons that they will be comforted. Bless their daddy.
