Jaime Martinez is home in the US for his sister’s funeral; she died of cancer. He went to the emergency room two days ago for a pain in his finger. He was treated and released. The infection worsened significantly. He is having surgery. The doctors think they may have to take the hand.

One of the other men in his unit was airlifted out of Iraq with a similar problem. He lost his hand.

Please pray for Jaime, the other men in his unit, and the Marine who has already lost his hand.

Also pray for the rest of our troops as well.

Update: Jaime had surgery Friday morning (7/6/07) and they were able to save his hand. Thank you, God.
