update: my sister is stationed at Ft. Hood (we finally heard back from her)
she said she is okay and that she is treating gun shot wounds in the ER.

she said there was a lot. won't hear back from her until much later.

luckily she was at the hospital for medical training. she's a dental specialist.


thank you to all of those who had kind supporting words.
if i hear anything else i will most definitely share.

32. Your body is going to react to what happened today and the
fear and anxiety that you were feeling. Be very gentle with yourself.

23. I'm so glad she's alright.
My husband's cousin is stationed there and I've not been able to get word on him yet.

He was about to be deployed to Iraq and we were worried about that, now worrying about something like this is mind blowing.

33. Great, great news - oh but how awful for her, right there in the ER in all
Edited on Thu Nov-05-09 04:41 PM by nickyt
that mayhem - oh, oh, oh - glad she's there to help, but surely she will be so traumatized by all this - so wonderful she has such a terrific sister to see her through this catastrophe, dear Brice -

Sending strong love & thoughts to you -

S.

edit - so sorry, you're her brother, not sister...apologies

34. Hey, pal, glad you can exhale now.
And hopefully you will be able to share, at an appropriate time, any further news of what went on there. Always good to have it from a real source, instead of MSM.
