Update on Ronnie

So I know you have all been waiting on this, so I appologize that it is so over due.

Ronnie was unofficially diagnosed with Costocondritus (inflammation of the costal cartilage around the ribs) several months ago. The ARMY was planning to take action on his case, while we were not certain what the "action" would be.

Since then,Ronnie has been incident free for almost a month now. We praise God for the time he had off to heal while the rest of his unit was in Bulgaria for a month in late August. His episodes slowly became less intense and less frequent with the rest. As of now, the ARMY has still taken no definite action so Ronnie has returned to work as usual with the ability to go into the less vigorous "training room" if he feels the need in the future. I think he is quite pleased with the outcome. He is happy to be back involved with the unit and training to do what he joined the army to do. In the end the results are more than what we could have asked for and for that, we praise God. Thank you all so much for your prayers through this trying and scary time for both Ronnie and myself. We are so thankful for all of you.

In addition, Ronnie feels like he has "found his place" in Germany. He has found a church to attend on a semi-regular basis (when he is not on duty)and has also been assigned to a squad. He has been enjoying much of his training and even got his German driver's liscense this week! On top of it all he has made many new friends which is a huge blessing.
