I'm so sorry to hear that, Matt. 
Let us know if there is anything we can do. I'm sure you'll tell us more as you learn of it.

Oh Matt,
I am so sorry! Give a hug to Gretchen for me, too. How long will she be gone? Hang in there.

Matt....that just...sux. How can we all help?
Why do they need her IN Afghanistan? Will she be treating local children there or will she be seeing the troops?

Wow. Matt -
I've got nothing to say that could be remotely helpful. You guys are in my thoughts. How 'bout a road trip for you and the boys -- visiting baseball stadiums around the country?? Just anything .....Comment

Is there anything that could make this easier? I know now isn't the time to think about it, but maybe iMSNers (or our kids) could write letters to Gretchen or you or even the kids?

Why in the world do they need a PEDIATRICIAN in Afghanistan? (That was Jon's response).
Good grief, the military medical system needs such a complete overhaul! Sending pediatricians of all people out into war (while my base here needs at least one additional pediatrician on-staff to take care of the children of airmen).
Someday someone is going to figure out that taking good care of soldiers'/airmen's/seamens' children while they are away on a mission is a HUGE boost of morale. We need pediatricians state-side (or in the OCONUS accompanied bases).

Well, from what we could tell in the communications that she got, IT IS a humanitarian mission.
It may or may not have something to do with the USNS Mercy/Comfort,
it may or may not be from April 25 for three months,
it may or may not be from May 1 for 120 days,
it may or may not involve my MIL here for the full time,
IT IS a joint mission,
IT IS going to happen, and it is all speculative until she is there doing something/anything else.
Basically, we will find out more on Monday when she gets into the "circle of trust"...of course then she could tell me, but may have to kill afterward.Comment

Certain that she's going, uncertain of anything else. Man, that really blows. I hope some details get ironed out, I know that would make it at least a little easier to bear if it were me.
