The Price of Freedom
I am a Battle Captain for an Attack Helicopter Battalion in the First Cavalry Division, currently deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. I am an AH-64D Longbow Apache helicopter pilot and a veteran of OIF II. I have a very amazing son, David, who I miss very much and think about every day. I plan on getting out of the military as soon as I am able to go work for my dad in Florida. I hope to start a nice little business of my own someday!

The Rollercoaster Begins
Okay, so for those of you who aren't updated on the story or aren't clear: The day after David was born, a nurse heard a clicking noise along with his heartbeat. After another nurse, a pediatrician, and a "specialist" listened they all agreed there was a clicking noise and decided to call Wilford Hall Medical Center in San Antonio, TX (3 hours south of Fort Hood). At WHMC, the neo-natal cardiologist thought that the clicking noise, coupled with an anomaly in a blood pressure differential between the legs and the arms, warranted an immediate trip to his hospital for further investigation.
