Many Changes on the Horizon

As a continuation from my last post...
Tristan and Marina are now here, staying at Gran'pa Bill's while Gran'ma Joan and Rachel fly to Maryland. The Marine's changed Hans' therapy plans from Germany to Texas, and then from Texas to Maryland. (Quite the run-around!) But he is in Maryland now, and Joan and Rachel will join him today.  So far, his amputations have been just above the knee on both legs. His arms seem to be ok. Hans worked on a special team deactivating bombs in Afghanistan. He was wearing all of his bomb gear when he and his leader were disarming the bomb. The primary device was deactivated but a secondary device was activated hitting Hans with the full force when it exploded. His hands have extensive injuries, with minor injuries to his upper body, shoulders, and head. He was knocked unconscious when the bomb exploded. 

Tristan and Marina will continue to work on their home-schooling while they stay here. So far we plan on including them in our family routines for the next few months while Rachel assists Hans in his physical therapy and recovery plans.  He will stay in Maryland until he is fully recovered and able to manuever with his artifical limbs.  I will let know what his updates are. Please remember to keep their family in your prayers.
