Pastrychef, thank you for your wishes for Evie. She is around the forum a bit however having a break at the moment, so I will pass on your wishes to her.

Colin is Evie's brother. To explain, we have had 3 members of our family, other than Evie, suffering from Combat PTSD. One drank himself to death, one committed suicide, and the third, my eldest son, died in an accident as an indirect result of his PTSD. So to put it briefly, because of the experiences of our family, to Evie, Military equals PTSD, and PTSD equals Death. We feel the same way as Evie, in that we almost worry more about Colin getting PTSD than we do about him dying! Though obviously for Evie it is very intense as she does have the PTSD herself and does not handle stress as well as we do.
Thank you for sharing your story. It is good that you remained calm, I was that way most of the time as well, even when Jim was shot 15 years ago, I was very calm and collected. Though I'm not certain I would be now. In any event, I am thankful your husband was unharmed.
