@herron1345:  I stand corrected.... Marine.I'm feeling pretty good.  I get the cold sweats but no real fever.  There is some growth/granulation over the bone, which is good.  If the bone were infected, there either wouldn't be growth over it, or the growth would probably die.  Since it's looking good, the antibiotics seem to be working.  Still scheduled for another four weeks of antibiotic IVs. Once the bone is covered, we'll do a skin graft.  We are doing fine and don't need anything, but thanks for asking and offering!

It does seem strange that they would stop when the first guy stepped into bright light.  I would think they would either hesitate before going into the light to check it out OR as soon as they stepped into the light, one go one way and the next cover the other direction.  But, tactics don't always work in the field.  Doorways, gates, and alley openings are dangerous funnels.I suspect the sniper was actually shooting at the first guy, since he was in the sun, and the guy that got hit was still back in the shadow.Either way, they were both very lucky! 4951
