[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 283199, member: 1514"] That is great! I am sure you will enjoy it. Jamie is completely out now. He was due to leave for Iraq when I got sick. He had actually served his 4 year active tour of duty and been out of the Marines and serving his 4 year inactive reserve years. He had already served over 2 and a half of those years when they recalled him to active duty! He had a new job, new baby, new wife, and a new house. It really was bad timing...lol. But the military doesnt really care about timing. Jamie tried to get out of it because he worked in law enforcement but they didnt give him that deferrment. Anyway...Jamie got all his ducks in a row and got military leave from his job, got everything set up on the home front, and came down to our house so he could spend two weeks with us before he shipped out. He, his family, and his Dad all went to visit their paternal family in SC - about 6 hours from me. Billy and I stayed home because he had to work. I ended up getting meningitis sometime over that friday night...the day they left. Billy couldnt wake me up early that Saturday morning. I was talking weird the night before and Tony called me early that saturday morning and I didnt answer my phone and Tony had Billy go check me. They had me taken by ambulance to the ER. Jamie and the crew turned around and came back home that same day. I didnt know nothing else for about 10 days. I was in a coma. Jamie had to report to the Marine base at Camp Lejeune on 11/4 to ship out to Iraq but the kids (Billie and Billy) had got ahold of the Red Cross and they had sent paperwork to the commander at Lejeune about me and they met Jamie at sign in and told him that he was being released from the Marine Corps early. As of that day, he was no longer in the Corps. That they felt he was more important to his family because the doctors felt that I might not live and that if I did live I could very well lose the use of parts of my body. It could also take over a year to completely recover. So it was mighty nice of them to give me back my son...and it only took me almost dying...lol. [/QUOTE]
