I still am getting an error when I try to upload pics!! I'm sorry.

Jeremy's Cardiologist appointment went okay today(considering he never saw an actual cardiologist) They didn't have him anywhere in the system so he had to meet with a tech and get the EKG machine put on. Apparently his doctors never called over to Tripler to make the appointment, they just assumed the cardiologists could squeeze him in. He has to wear the monitors until tomorrow. Everything is pretty complicated right now out here. I will try to explain the basics:
On Friday, the entire troop had to go through different stations to get cleared to go to Iraq. When Jeremy got to the final station, they marked his paperwork nondeployable, pending cardiologist approval. Since his doctor on post here never made him an appointment at Tripler to see a cardiologist, the earliest they will see him is Wednesday at 2:00 p.m. We are supposed to fly out on Thursday. His deployment ceremony is tomorrow, but I don't get to go to it because I have to take his EKG machine back to Tripler to be turned in first thing in the morning. If they don't let him have leave like we are planning this week, then he won't get any vacation before he deploys. There is only like a 2% chance that they won't let him go to Iraq, so what we are worried about is them not letting him take leave(because of the paperwork not being finished) and then deploying him in December as planned. The army does everything on their time, not the soldier's and their families. Keep your fingers crossed and pray for him please! Theyre leaving in early December. I know all of this is really confusing but its hard to explain. We are still packing and everything, hoping to get to go home( and REALLY hoping he is healthy, but nondeployable if possible). I'm really sad that he won't have anyone at his ceremony tomorrow.
