update
Today i got up grabbed something to eat, booked a hotel room on base, and i fell asleep in the shower. Yes i said i fell asleep in the shower standing up. I was tired. After that power nap, i decided check on my nephew...He was on alot of meds. His blood pressure was lowering to a stable level. They cleaned his face up and we saw some cuts and brusies. I spoke with the doctor who is awesome and she said that they believe that he has alot of brusied organs and until the swelling goes down around his brain, they wont really know anything. They have all said that he is lucky to be alive. So with his condition as it is, i left to get away from the hospital and i tried to get my sister and her husband to come back to the hotel room and rest and i would stand watch at the hospital. Well my sister said no, but her husband said yes and i escorted him back on base and he crashed. Then i was driving around checking out the eating places in this new town and i saw some evacuees still in a shelter. So i stopped and talked to some of them, and i saw the kids looking so sad. So i decided to go and get gifts cards(certificates) to mcdonalds for all 20 of the kids, and well it didnt go so well. Then i tried wendys, subway, and then there was burger king. Well i thought that i could get a3 gift card for all of the kids, and well it was a 5.oo min limit on the card. So i spent a hundred bucks at Burger King and the kids were happy. Alot of them want to go back home to New Orleans. :( Then i told them what i was doing here and one little girl decided to get her friends together to do a card for my cousin. I will pick that up tomorrow and i hope that my cousin will like it when he sees it. I know he will get better. I would also like to thank everyone for there prayers and there support and the support of me and how my blog is run.
The Hubby&Wife duo sent e-cards that i printed out and alot of people who opposed and liked some of the things that i write banded together to help in this time of need. IF there is anything that i can ever do to repay you guys i will. Thanks alot from the bottom of my heart. Well im gonna run and check out you guys blogs and reply to them and i hope you guys have a nice day.

I'm posting here about James and the Giant Peach. Here's a brief description......
When poor James Henry Trotter loses his parents in a horrible rhinoceros accident, he is forced to live with his two wicked aunts, Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker. After three years he becomes "the saddest and loneliest boy you could find." Then one day, a wizened old man in a dark-green suit gives James a bag of magic crystals that promise to reverse his misery forever. When James accidentally spills the crystals on his aunts' withered peach tree, he sets the adventure in motion. From the old tree a single peach grows, and grows, and grows some more, until finally James climbs inside the giant fruit and rolls away from his despicable aunts to a whole new life. James befriends an assortment of hilarious characters, including Grasshopper, Earthworm, Miss Spider, and Centipede--each with his or her own song to sing.
I'm glad to hear your nephew is somewhat stable although it sounds like he's hardly out of the woods yet.
I couldn't stop thinking today about what happened ~ especially when I was out driving.
Your family is in my thoughts.
Hey AFGuy, I am here.. sorry I am waaay behind on your blog =( My sincerist apologies. Crazy busy days and tired sleepless nights!
I am going to go catch up .. I have a lot to read! But I did read today's entry and i will pray for your newphew.
Faith and I are praying for your nephew.
Sorry I haven't been checking up on you. I am sorry to hear about your nephew. I hope that things go well for him.
Good for you with the 100.00 Burger Kind splurge. You are a really kind person. Those kids won't forget you ya know.
I can't believe your nephew's friend lost his parents. That is so sad. I pray for that little guy and your little guy as well.

The gift cards for the kids was the nicest thing ever. Very generous. I'm glad to hear he is stable, he'll pull through in no time.
I actually came across your blog today while logging into mine. I think it was under the most recently updated blogs or something. Anyway, I saw your ID and opted to click and I've been glued to it ever since. You are just such an intriguing person. I mean, here you are, going through things (war) that people should never have to go through. Seeing things that those of us who have never been there can't even being to imagine. Your nephew gets into a horrible car accident but yet, you still have peace of mind to go get these poor kids gift cards so they can have a meal. Most people wouldn't even be thinking straight. You truely are a geniunely special person and if there were more people like you in this world it would be such a better place!!! Thank you so much for what you have done for our country and I hope that you find what you're looking for one day. I have no doubt that you will be a wonderful husband and an even greater father!
