I've been the wife of a medically retired Army veteran for 10 years. I work full time and go to school and I'm also the mom of an amazing 9 year old girl who has Asperger's syndrome and a sensory processing disorder and I have an equally awesome 7 year old boy. Just a couple of months into my husband's second deployment, he was severely wounded by an IED. He's had 21 surgeries to reconstruct and salvage his arm, including having it sewn to his body for 6 weeks. He suffers from PTSD and TBI along with numerous other injuries and conditions.
