Update on Anthony from his Aunt Cynthia

Update as of 4:00pm:
Anthony arrived in Germany at 7:45am this morning.
Anthony just got out of surgery in Germany, doctors cleaned all debris out of his left leg, put splints on his right leg, also splints on both arms and wrist. He was also given a nerve block for left leg and left hand because of pain, and now is in recovering room. His left wrist is also badly damaged. The one thing that Anthony asked his parents..."please pray for the pain that he is enduring."

Thank you for all of your continued prayers. We love and appreciate all of you.

Keep Anthony in your prayers

Our best friends' son, Anthony is a medic stationed in Afghanistan. This morning there was an ambush and as he was helping a soldier, he stepped on an IED. He is alive....but please pray for him and his family.
