Short nights and crazy days

First I'd like to apologize for not finding time to post something sooner. We've been SO busy lately that I've been getting 5 hours of sleep or less. We're not out the entire time, but we work like 16 hours, then it takes time to wind down, let the adrenaline die down, shower and then finally sleep. But I'm going to try to make updates a priority, it's only fair to all of you.

Bad news first. Lindsey was hospitalized yesterday, she had extreme abdominal pain, and it turns out it was from a cyst. I didn't even know about it until about an hour ago. I feel so powerless and like a deadbeat husband. I'm out running around Baghdad and my wife can't even get hold of me to let me know that she's sick. She's getting better now, and they're going to try to figure out what caused it.

Now for the good news! I'm starting to get packages! The APO address does in fact work, and thank you everyone for sending stuff! I've been getting books and food and rags (very important, I need them to clean weapons and stuff!). So thank you to everyone who's taken the time to send me stuff. I promise to share with the other guys.

Well, it's late, and I've got to get some sleep. Later,
 
Trey
