He's 2!

Braden turned 2 years old on January 12th. We still cloth diaper him, but getting ready to start potty training soon.

We're in the process of moving/setting up our new apartment(long story), so updates have been sparse.

I'm realizing after arguing with Brendon, the PTSD is getting worse. He's admitting a problem. But the problem is him trying to get time off to get help for it. He's afraid that they will discharge him for it. He had a soldier who was fresh out of basic, being suicidal, and claiming PTSD, and was released medically. I guess I can see his worry, but he's not suicidal, just very on edge and paranoid. We've got to get this fixed soon. He goes to JRTC at Fort Polk in April, and a little after that the next deployment starts. I'm just worried about him.

Have you thought about trying to find a private physician for Brendon? That way he can talk to someone about his problems, but it won't affect his military career... Just a thought. =)
