Good Morning,
A few days ago LCpl Jorge Ortiz, 1st MARDIV Combat Camera 4612, was hit by an IED while serving in Afghanistan, he lost both of his legs and possibly his hands, they are trying to save his thumbs. He is stable at Bethesda. Plz keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
Ortiz will be landing at Andrews Airforce Base at 4:30pm Friday, Jan 21. He will then be taken by Helicopter to the Bethesda ICU. He is stable, but they would not share details of his injury. If anyone is wanting to call to check on his status, the ICU telephone number is 301-295-2606, Mr. Gomes requests that calls come in after 7pm, due to the need of the staff getting Jorge situated and as comfortable as possible.
If you all can keep him in your prayers I will do my best to keep everyone updated on his status but as my own deployment date is fast approaching I will leave a link so you may check up if I am unavailable. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Prayers-and-Fundraising-for-LCpl-Jorge-Ortiz/104823992924989
