Bryan is assigned to the Naval Construction Battalion Center Gulfport. In fact, Bryan had to report for duty Aug. 30 to prepare for his third deployment. Bryan said Micheal wasn’t due until Sept. 1 but “the hurricane threw off his timeline.” The earlier- than-expected birth didn’t seem to affect the baby; he weighed 8 pounds-7 ounces and was 21 inches “tall” and went home Aug. 31. Bryan mentioned that several hospital staff members including the 81st Medical Group commander and several nurses tried unsuccessfully to encourage them to include Isaac as part of his name. Both parents are from Sun Valley, Calif. He’s been in the Navy for four years, three-and-a-half at NCBC Gulfport.

Phase one of the renovation project began November 2010, with the arrival of five trailers used as temporary patient care facilities for fast-track and rapid treatment and assessment while renovations were underway. During phase two, fast-track patients were treated in the temporary trailers while the ED was freed up for remodeling. Patients with the most threatening conditions, or the most ill, were treated in portions of the ED that weren’t under construction. Meanwhile, those diagnosed with minor illnesses were treated in the fast-track trailers. Phases three and four consisted of opening up the 14-bed fast-track portion for the least ill, and the 27-bed main portion for the most ill when renovations were completed June 11.
