this evening a couple colleagues and i headed over to the csh (hospital) to see some of the kids and we learned that "joey" and his sister thoha are heading home. believe it or not a special unit located the children's mother who was not killed in the bombing despite reports. i can only imagine the look on her face when an army private and 5 or so navy seals opened her door and said "we have you children."
it turns out that the father was the target in the bombing. he was an iraqi police officer, working to secure his country, and was assassinated with the bomb. his wife, the young mother of the two children, was not with them at the time and is happily awaiting the children's return.
a small miracle for all involved. a mother who assumed that all was lost is preparing to welcome her children home.
the military nursing team is losing one of their favorite patients but hope remains.

That baby might never know your name or remember your face, but his life was forever changed by your presence. Good job, dude.
