Lots of patients, but they seem to be able to get injured in the same ways. Kids do seem to have the best chance of recovery. I'm sure the family of the suicide bomber lived with desparation. I'm just glad that He didn't succeed in hurting anyone but himself.<BR/><BR/>ChrisChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01573568234875246176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13562314.post-58820999322938245322007-12-27T11:44:00.000-06:002007-12-27T11:44:00.000-06:00I suppose an attempted family suicide is a downer ...I suppose an attempted family suicide is a downer for Christmas Day....but at least the wife and child have a new lease on life.

He immediately began throwing up. He was taken to Santa Fe. When I came to visit him the next day, he was sitting up in bed in the ICU. He looked terrible, but he was talking non-stop, "Hey Lou, you want to go to the movies, how about Burger King, ooh cool, you brought me legos..." The nurse told me not to worry that he was just agitaged because of the brain swelling. I started laughing, and told her, "No, that is Nathan!" He is now a twenty-something young man who is doing great. The brain is an amazing thing.<BR/><BR/>I can't believe you have not rented a car and driven around Iraq to see the sights.Bag Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885412195900280096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13562314.post-13350374484147985102007-12-27T05:05:00.000-06:002007-12-27T05:05:00.000-06:00You seem to have many different kinds of patients,...You seem to have many different kinds of patients, which can be good when they aren't hurt to much.
