I just got out of AIM with Spence, the brother of LCpl. Kyle Renehan, and I have some updated information.
Because of some difficulty with the wounds to his leg, they are giving him a transfusion and are holding him in Iraq until the wound closes enough to make air travel safer. He is still sedated heavily and basically unconscious.
He will remain in Iraq until tomorrow night. They will start the process of waking him tomorrow, and reassess any damage to his brain. LCpl Chris will remain with him until he is moved, which is very good for Kyle. I'm sure he is talking Kyle's ear off, and that's good for both of them at this point.
Spence also said that he appreciates all of the kindness shown during this situation. Good and wonderful people have been hitting the Paypal link and doing what they can to assist his family, and it was overwhelming.
If you can help with prayer, please do so for Kyle and for his parents who are taking this very hard and need your support.
I copied/pasted your update (and gave you credit!) Thanks for keeping us updated!

Posted by: BethW at December 3, 2004 02:49 PMI called and put Kyle on our church prayer chain. They are prayer warriors!! I work with Sharon, Kyle's aunt. She told me the news yesterday.
Just know God is being BOMBARDED with prayer for Kyle....I've seen many miracles and I believe I will see another one.
Peace,
