Things are looking up!
I agree with marvin...from where I stand I don't see where all the sadness is coming from...all I see are positive things:
1. Your DS is in good spirits
2. Very qualified doctors are looking after him
3. upperclassmen are responsible for him
4. other plebes are looking after him
5. he is staying where he belongs
6. he is being given time to recover
7. did I say he was in good spirits
8. this will only make his resolve and will stronger
9. he is not your little boy anymore
10. he is now a man and his courage proves that
Take the frown of your face, smile and start beating that chest again!
You have one heck of a plebe that anybody should be proud of.
Incidents like this can only make them stronger and more determined!
Frankly speaking...I would be more worried and angry if this happened in a civilian college.
Oh yeah, BTW, we are still praying for you and your DS when we go to church this afternoon!
GO NAVY!
