My cousin Bill, who is the same age as I, is currently in a coma. There is a HUGE prayer chain that has been formed thanks to Facebook. It has been amazing to see the prayers that have been offered to the heavens on behalf of my cousin. How we are praying for him to be healed miraculously. Below is a synopsis that my cousin Jim, Bill's brother has put together, so that people are informed of what happened.
Bill DeGennaro wasn't expected to make it home from the hospital when he was born back in '77. Of course the Docs who said that didn't quite realize the warrior spirit in the babe. Bill grew up in Adelphi, Md. He attended St. Mark's, High Point High School, and the University of Maryland. Within a week of 9/11/2001, Bill joined the US Navy with the goal of joining the elite SEAL teams. Failure was never an option. From 2002-2008, Bill was an operator in SEAL Team 3. Bill was released from active duty in 2008. Bill continued to work in Afghanistan as he truly believed in the mission there.
On 10/8/2009 in Bagram, Afghanistan while working on a detail that was training Afghanis to be self-sufficient, Bill DeGennaro was found choking on his own vomit from a stress induced seizure. He is now in a coma in the ICU at Lundstuhl Army Hospital, and will be transported to the DC area in the coming days. Bill's status is very much up in the air. His brain and lungs show substantial damage. However, a full recovery is quite possible with God’s grace.
This page is dedicated to Bill, his life and times, and to giving all his friends and family a place to share how we are storming heaven and earth with prayers and positive mojo with the same warrior tenacity that Bill will when his recovery is in his own hands. Feel free to share anything positive for or about Bill.
God Bless. I'll see all of you at the party we throw when Bill gets up and walks out of the hospital on his own power!
LOVE YOU BILL! In faith and MANY prayers!!
