Dan's shoulder is still bothering him a lot. There is no Doctors at the Al Asad base. There are medic's but they are not allowed to disburse any medications except over the counter dose of motrin. The nearest medical facilities is in Kuwait. KBR would fly him there but he would have to take medical days and we don't know how many days it would take to be seen by a Doctor, etc. Please be praying that God would restore his shoulder. He will be home in 51 days and I will get him in to the Dr. while he is home for his two weeks. Hopefully we can get him fixed up.
