Jimmy Morgan said… Rick, Wes was moved to RCU because of his pneumonia. He call this last Sunday feeling a little depressed. He said the doctors are going to take xrays of his lungs. And seem a little worried about scar tissue. He thinks he has failed. I told him to keep his head up and to stay positive. He only gets to call on sundays, so we are going crazy waiting for the news. We have put him in gods hands and let his will be done. I hope all is well with your family. How is Bryce doing?

Hey Rick! No we have not heard from Wes yet .But hoping that is a good sign. He told me yesterday that If he passes today he'll go to Battlestations tonight. So say a prayer for him will ya? Have you heard from Bryce?

Thank You Rick. I know he was upset, But I also know that he is a strong kid and he'll push through. Setbacks are a part of life and it's how we handle them that makes us who we are. Good luck to Bryce on Battle stations, And congrats!!!

NavyDads Admin (Paul) said… - Welcome to NavyDads.com Rick! I'm sure you'll find NavyDads as useful, educational and informative as I have. Please explore the site and make some new friends. Read the discussions and add your comments. Browse through the postings in the various groups or start a new one. If you have any comments, questions or concerns about your sailor and what he is going through...be sure to post them! In my experience someone here can answer your questions or concerns or can point you in the direction to find out. I'm blessed to have two sailors in the family - my son Eric (AM3) was stationed on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and just re-enlisted, and my daughter Kat is a Navy vet and was stationed on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Rick this is a great place to brag as well! So join in, get active, and be sure to let us know how Bryce is doing! Please remember that we talk about the Navy here and we must keep the security and safety of our sailors and the fleet in mind. On the right or starboard side of every NavyDads page is an area we call About This Site. Please take a minute and read through the Operations Security (OPSEC) link for some guidelines as to what we should not talk about in a public forum.
As a parent of a sailor currently or soon to be at Great Lakes you'll have many questions about what your son is going through. In the Navy Bootcamp group is a discussion called A MUST READ for all New Navy Parents. Read through this post as it will do a lot to give you some understanding about what your sailor is learning and why. And be sure to check out the videos available in the Bootcamp Group as well.
As PIR draws closer, be sure to spend some time going through the PIR-Tips, Hints and Helps group- we’ve tried to assemble some tips and suggestions to make your sailor's PIR more enjoyable. Best Regards- Paul
