It’s official; Josh is a Purple Heart recipient. Tuesday around 5:45 pm, The Commandant of the USMC, Gen. Conway presented Josh with the award. The Commandant was genuine and amicable. But things were not so cheery on Wednesday.
Josh had surgery on Wednesday. It was not a complete success. The surgeons removed the feeding tube from Josh’s stomach, but they were unable to take out the IVC filter. My mom said that the filter attached itself to the wall and there could be risk if they tried to remove it. Post surgery, Josh was sent back to Richmond via ambulance.

Josh's Surgery Postponed
Josh was transferred to Bethesda today. Josh did not have surgery today as expected. His surgery to remove the IVC filter and feeding tube has been rescheduled for Wednesday. Josh is in Bethesda until Thursday. But he is still expecting to receive his purple heart tomorrow.
