Michael was deployed from Fort Riley, KS to Afghanistan the first week of December 2009. He was stationed at FOB Wilson, near Kandahar. On January 3, 2010, while on a routine foot patrol, he was seriously injured by an IED. The same event claimed the lives of his Air Force companion and three soldiers from Fort Carson, CO.
This blog chronicles the events of Michael's life from his injury to the present day. He is now the author of this blog; is married, is a father and lives in Texas with his guide dog, Xxon. His injuries are now healed, he is retired from the U.S. Air Force and is planning on what to do for his next adventure.

What happened next

That was the last email we received from Michael before he was injured. The next few posts will be the emails and facebook updates my dad put up to help keep everyone informed on Michael and his status (as they knew it). They were never able to directly talk to any of Michael's doctors so for the first little bit information was scarce.
