The day aftermath...

Out of 171 hospitalized 41 have been discharged and out of the three killed two have been identified. Most injuries were lower extremity ones, ear percussion ones, as well head injuries. Reconstruction, with rods and etc. as well future skin graphs were being considered and was being done as often as possible, but some lost limbs that could not be saved in life and death situations or at the scene itself; although, seventeen remain in critical condition. More lives were saved than lost though and that is what is of the utmost concern and benefit from all the medical personnel being right on scene.

The boy that died was Martin Richard, an eight year old, his Mom had a severe head injury and his five year old sister lost her leg. Bill Richard, Martin’s father, asks for everyone to continue to prayer for his family while they remember Martin, all from Dorchester Mass. A 29 year old, named Krystle Campbell from Medford Mass. was the second to be identified that died, a restaurant manager. Just in: that a Grad student at Boston College, was the third death due to the explosive devices, name, more than likely to come later tonight…

The explosives were made out of two six liter pressure cookers, installed with ball bearings and nails and simple gunpowder or some such igniter.

There were just the two explosive devices.

No definitive answers have come from the authorities involved; whether it was domestic or international terrorists that caused this horrific happening in Boston at 2:50 P.M. on April 15, 2013 during the 4:09:33 time into the marathon 26 mile race.

Along the final leg of the race of the Boston Marathon, held for 117 years on Patriot’s Day that had always been a happy occasions, 27,000 competitors were involved in the race and it appears that there were more than a half million in attendance as spectators. We send our love and prayers to all the victims and their families, and hope that the answers come swiftly to all the unanswered questions.

  

It is times like these that we realize, every time they remind us, that all that we hold near and dear can change in an instant and nothing and, no one and no individual day should ever be wasted or taken for granted… COUNT THOSE BLESSINGS FOR US ALL!

And one more suggestion; pray…
