I received an email telling me that Micah Maupin, USMC, the younger brother of POW/MIA Sgt. Keith Matthew Maupin, was injured in a motorcycle accident the day before he was to come home for Christmas. Here is the information that I received:
Matt’s younger brother, LCpl Micah Maupin, has been seriously injured at his duty station in California.
He was in a motorcycle accident on Sunday afternoon and it wasn't looking very good, but he is improving. He suffered a broken neck, bruised lungs, and he fractured a some vertebrae. His C7 vertebra was removed because it was too fractured to repair and it was replaced with bone fragments then it was fused with another vertebra. He is doing very well and he was walking a bit yesterday and today he got out of his bed on his own, very slowly, but he is making some great progress after everything that he has been through. The doctors have told him to expect a period of 6 to 9 months before he can return to active military duty. He has a difficult process ahead of him with therapy.
Would please keep Micah Maupin, his family and Sgt. Keith Matthew Maupin in your prayers. I'll make sure that any comments that are posted are forwarded on to his family!! I'm sure that they will appreciate your prayers and taking the time to think about them during this Christmas season.
If you wouldn't mind, please say an extra prayer that we bring Matt Maupin home soon!!! Our troops are doing a wonderful job, let's pray that they bring Sgt. Maupin home too!!
