My Son Has Been Injured
in a VBIED attack... a serious spinal injury... being operated on in Iraq. Please pray for my son.
He is SPC. Noah P.
UPDATE: 4:30AM (AZ time):
I just spoke with my son from Iraq!! He is waiting evac from Iraq to Germany for further evaluation of his spine... All the prayers worked BIG TIME as they determined that they did not have to operate in Iraq and will await further tests in Germany... He is in significant pain on any movement of the upper spine (C1,C2,C3) and pretty bad pain in the lower back ("that morphine stuff is good sh*t, Ma!")... and his brain's been rattled a bit (took him 10 minutes to remember his birth date) and he says he has lots of shrapnel lacerations on his head... mostly small deep wounds not requiring stitches... though he has some stitches... he still has some tingling in his hands and feet... ringing in the ears... but he tells me not to worry, he says he's still "pretty" and he even got some girls' phone numbers while at the CSH... He says he will be in Germany for a while but the damn soldier says he wants to get back to his unit asap!!
The outpouring of love and prayers has been overwhelming... and I can't thank you enough for your support. I do plan to go to Germany if they aren't sending him stateside... I haven't had any additional contact from the Army yet...
Thank you all for your caring and your compassion, but mostly thank you for your prayers... they DO work!
I'll put up some of the details of the attack that injured my son at a later date.

Oh dear God...my prayers are with you and Noah, SSM...
Please, if there's anything we can do for you or him with a blogging effort, or writing letters, sending stuff to him for the hospital, let me know.
And if it gives you ANY peace, I should tell you that I've had six spinal (cord!) operations, all by military doctors, and I'm fine. They don't let quacks touch the major stuff, they're the ones who blanket-issue Motrin for sprains. Think positively, have faith.
{{{{{HUGS}}}}}
Your son and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
prayers are done.
Know that some of the best surgeons in the world are in theater these days, so between them and all our prayers, he's in good hands.
I'll be praying for Noah, you, and your family too. We're all behind you so stay strong.
Your son and family are in my thougths and prayers. God bless.
You and he will be in our prayers, I can promise you that. Lay your burden and worries at the foot of the Cross. Let God do the heavy lifting and you save your strength for Noah.

I'm so sorry this has happened to your son. I've been reading your blog for many months now, trying to stay informed of the happenings, because you see, my youngest son is also 'over there' serving. He's been there since Februrary 2005.
I had to read your headline twice, before I realized the meaning of the words. It was as if someone had thrown a bucket of cold water in my face.
I will pray for your son, Noah, as I always pray for my own son.
Stay strong, God be with you and Noah during this difficult time.
Mom of a Soldier

Sorry, my email to you last night bounced. (I used the address on your profile.) Here's what I tried to send:
Almighty God,
For as much as you have given us a mother's heart, we know that our hearts are ultimately in your hands. The sons you gave us are a gift which we have gladly put back into your hands, as well. Right now, I join my Sister in prayer for the fruit of her womb, Noah. We ask you to honor your Word and our faith that by Jesus's stripes Noah is healed. We declare the power and benefit of our Blood Covenant promising that no weapon formed against him shall prosper. We invoke your Peace upon all who are concerned with Noah's safety and recovery, and ask that you infuse them with your gentle comfort and blessing , which they will impart to him.
For my Sister, O God, I ask that you allow us to share her burden, and join her vigil. Strengthen her for the tasks ahead. Speak to her by your Spirit in words that cannot be uttered. Give her the Wisdom you promise to those who ask. Stabilize her thoughts. Embolden her prayers, and allow her to know in her heart of hearts that You will not leave her, neither will You forsake her or Noah.
We declare strength and healing to Noah right now. We speak to your Spirit, Noah, and command it to receive healing from the Word of God. We energize you with the Word of Faith, the prayers of the Saints and the Honor of God.
We pray all these things with the Mind of Christ, through the Name of Jesus.
Amen.
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Noah, and your family.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if there's anything that Soldiers' Angels can do to help.

I "next blogged" you and am praying for your son. My daughter got home from Iraq in March after a year and it was a relief to this mom. You are going through one of my worst nightmares about it. He is in the hands of the One who gives life and heals. Rest in that in the midst of your pain.
Shalom,

Kinny's Mom
Such awesome news.
I will keep you and he in my thoughts and prayers.
Your son is in very good hands. I work at the Air Force Theater Hospital in Balad, Iraq, and I know that there truly are some incredibly talented hands here. I am a surgical nurse, and I wouldn't fear treatment in this facility.
You son if he hasn't already will go to Landstuhl, Germany on a CCAT (Critical Care Air Transport) and be taken care of there as well. Its impossible not to be a Mom, but maybe this can help you not be afraid.
Both Noah and you are in my prayers, along with all your family.
Our neighborhood prayer group has been launched.
We're interdenominational. Something always makes it to Sky Six.

Just made phone call to the CASF, Noah is fine but still waiting on transport.
I will add to the prayers (and tears) and thank you and your son for the sacrifice. Keep us all updated.
My wife, my best friend and the mother of my child is on her way over there with the USAF to work for five months.

I am so sorry to hear your son was injured. I will definitely pray for him. I just can't express how thankful I am for the men and women in uniform who protect our freedom. We are truly a blessed nation. Please tell your son many, many people who he does not know at all are extremely grateful and thankful for all that is being done for us back here in our wonderful country.
Oh man.... I'm both happy and sad. Sad he was injured, but happy you got to talk to him, he still has his mojo (lol) and is on his way to Germany for better care. I can't imagine your emotions right now, but I hope you can feel the love that's coming your way!
My prayers for Nathan and your family.

You and your son are in our prayers! I'm so please to hear that you have heard from him, that's a bit of good news at least.
I cannot begin to imagine your feelings on hearing your son had been injured. My son now serves, and his time will come to serve in a warzone.
In Christ,
Keith
Sorry I'm late. I'm glad the news is good and that all of the prayers are working. Add mine to the list!! PLEASE let me know if you need anything.
Dear Noah's Mom,
My heart goes out to you, to Noah and your family. I hardly know what to say, except that I too, will be praying for you.
Shalom u'vrachah (Wishing you peace and blessings).
My prayers are coming your way also.
Your son is in my prayers. God is good...
Please know that we are all praying for Noah as well as you and your family.
My son is in Iraq as well and I pray for every soldier daily.
Please thank Noah for all he has done and the sacrifices he has made. Please keep us updated.
Stay strong and keep the faith.
I just heard about your son being injured and my heart goes out to you both. I want to thank him for his service and sacrifice and I will say prayer for him.
May the LORD answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
We will keep your son in our thoughts - it sounds like his sense of humor is intact, though. A good spirit will do well for him as he recovers!
You and Noah will be in my prayers. I'm glad to read that you were able to talk to him. That must have been such a relief. I pray you'll be able to be reunited with him soon.
Oh no! I read your blog regularly and have followed your odyysey (sp?. Today I didn't have a chance to read the blogs I follow until just now. I am SO releived to see you additional note that Noah seems to better than you feared at first. You have an enormous number of people praying for him and your whole family- I know that prayer can help a LOT! I will be keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers too. Lots of love is being sent your way ( and Noah's!!)
Prayers are rising in Indiana too.

Your son and your family will be in my prayers.
I am here via Blackfive. I am ashamed I have not run across your blog before. It is now part of my regular reading. I am just an average citizen who appreciates so much the sacrifices families like you make. Thank you, God bless, and stay strong.

Prayers from North Carolina tonight and every night. We're proud of your son and your family. God Bless and take care.
All the best to you and Noah. My prayers are with your son.
What a thrill to come home from work & see this great update! I'm delighted that things look better, and that you got to speak with him. That had to relieve your fear a little. The prayers will certainly continue for Noah, you and your family. Thanks for taking the time to update...
I am with you, my family is praying for your son.
All my peeps - everyone - is thinking of Noah
G-D BLESS YOU

Just read by way of Blackfive, of your son's injuries.
God speed to him and to you. Mrs. Echo9er and I will keep him in our thoughts until he is safe at home with you.

Hooah!!
From black five...
Glad to hear that he's talking and getting tingles, it means it's all good though delicate for a bit.
You can count on the prayers, right now, right here:
“ I love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live. ”- Psalm 116:1-2
Psalm 103
1Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
May God grant you comfort and lay his healing hands on your son.
Please know that Noah (and the family) will be in our prayers.
Please keep us updated and let us know in which specific areas we need to pray.
Our heavenly father is the mighty physician and I believe he will work great and mighty works in Noah and through you.
God Bless!!
Sorry to hear the news of your son. What a wonderful sense of humor he has "still has a pretty face". He is in my prayers as you are.
Blessings~
Bou's mom
You, and son, along with the rest of the family are in my prayers. I'm sure the folks at Ramstein and Landstuhl will take good care of him.
You raised a good son, Soldier's Mom. Thank you for that, and thank him for his service (and his desire to return to it ASAP). We're more blessed by your family, and all those like it, than we can ever say enough thanks for.
Wow Soldiers Mom-Noah is getting some heavy duty prayers he's got to be ok. At least he still has his sense of humor - right. Saying "don't worry". Right. My prayers for Noah and your family.
your in our thoughts
My thoughts are with you and your son. I have no doubt he is in good hands.
Just wanted to let you know that I lit a candle for your son tonight. My prayers and thoughts are with you at this very difficult time...Keep the faith
We are in tears, and now prayer for your son.
I know the his team mates will provide the best care possible.
God Bless you and your wonderful son.
Prayers for your family and your son. We are indebted to him.
I will light a candle, my prayers are with you, and your family, and most of all your Soldier.
I pray for your son's speedy recovery. He is a great warrior and you are a great mom. God bless.
have been reading your blog for months. i was so upset to read your son had been injured. i couldn"t get it off my mind last night. my prayers are with you and your family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We pray for his comfort and a speedy recovery.
My prayers are with you. My job here at the National Training Center is to train soldiers on how to spot and avoid IEDs. It is my life goal to make sure that not ONE soldier leaves here without a proper understanding of the lethality of IEDs. I hope that no other mothers have to suffer because their son or daughter gets hit. Your post only provides me more motivation and reason to be tougher in my training and never let up.
Our prayers go out to you. By the way, an example of one of my training IEDs targetting a training unit will be shown on ABC World News Tonight next week. I don't have a date yet, but I'll be posting it on my site once I get one.
I'm glad to hear your son is doing better at the combat support Hospital in Iraq and the the they're waiting to move him. Mother nature or God takes over in these cases and it is a lot better than anything the doctors can do... I got that from a doctor.
If you get to Walter Reed by the 31st, please give me a call at(202)577-0088, and I will look you up wherever you are on post. I'll come up to his room on bring Carren mom, and we will pass on all the knowledge and information that we have learned in our two months here.
I know you're soldiers mum but if you're not a soldiers wife then you probably aren't as familiar with the army and its (sometimes strange)ways. Mom and Carren can be a great source of advice, and if you want it, I can probably give you insight into what your son is thinking--like why in the hell he went back to his unit so fast.
