Sgt. Brandon Huff remains in stable condition, his health improving since being admitted on April 26 to the intensive care unit of Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C.

Since May 3, Huff has been in the orthopedic ward, where he continues undergoing multiple therapies that have tended his infections and physical traumas sustained by a hidden explosive, said Huff's father, Don. [...]

Although not able to stand, Brandon has been conditioning in the ward so he could eventually use an above-the-knee prosthesis that will help him resume a more normal way of life.

Brandon, having also sustained shrapnel wounds from the bomb, has underwent surgeries to speed up the healing process. His most severely injured area on his body, the abdominal area, should completely heal within the next 10 to 14 days, Don said. [...]

Donations to Brandon may be sent to Wells Fargo in Woodland. Give the bank cash or check made out to: Wells Fargo Account No. 3546050018. Left over money will be donated to the family support program at WRACK.

Letters may be sent to: Sgt. Brandon Huff, Walter Reed Army Medical Center, 6900 Georgia Ave. N.W., Washington, D.C. 20307-5001.
