Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / September 2005Prayers for those near the Gulf
I woke up thinking about Melinda today. My guess is that she is either there already or headed that way. I listened to a man in shock last night tell of his house filling with water, taking them all to the attic and then it suddenly splitting in two. He had hold of his grandchildren and his wife but couldn't hold them all and his wife made him let go of her and promise to keep the children safe. The news reporter broke down and managed to choke out 'what was her name'. Maybe they can find.... And another photographer last night sounded beaten down by what he had seen. I just knew Melinda needed to be there. Rambling here but thought a group hug and candle lighting might be in order. Let's say 6pm tonight. And if you just use your 6pm that will mean candles will be lit at regular intervals this evening.

My brother lived there for 6 years and has many many friends still in N'awlins. The ones that stayed said the destruction is incredible and so sad. Many he can't even get in touch with. More bad news today so that makes it worse too. Candles being lit at 6:00 - even if she isn't there she is going to need all our prayers because you can bet she isn't well if she isn't there or is fighting herself to get there.

It's almost too much to take in. Will light a candle at 6PM EDT. Loujean >I woke up thinking about Melinda today. My guess is >that she is either there already or headed that way.

I am probably through with disater work unless there is electricity to keep my enbrel cold. I would love to join you, though, for prayers. I am actually not even lurking much having spent a summer without computer, TV, etc. but I will check in every few weeks. Hope all is well with you and your family. m I am so glad to see a post from you. I tried calling your practice earlier this summer and they didn't return the call. I have been very worried about you. Please update us on the kids and grandkids when you have a chance. And let us know how you are doing after such a difficult year.

I have a number of cousins and some other relatives in the Baton Rouge/ New Orleans/ Hammond/ etc. area as well as an elderly aunt and uncle in Hattiesburg. We're waiting for them to be able to get some word out. I'm sure they all had the sense to evacuate, but there are a few doctors in the group who probably stayed behind to help afterwards. All have sturdy houses, but with these floodwaters, the damage may be great. And what did my one cousin do with her horses that she loves so much........ SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare nann, any word on your relatives? diane > nann, any word on your relatives? > > diane the NO area ones evacuated over the weekend and are fine physically. Their house is/was near the levee break though so they fear it may be gone. They are both doctors and with the hospitals shutting down, who knows when they'll be working again. Baton Rouge doesn't seem to have been hit much, so we haven't been worrying too much about the folks there. Some others who evacuated to Hammond are fine there, so we assume the Hammond contingent is also. I worry about my 93 year old aunt though - I'm sure the facility she lives in has no power. sigh....... it's handy having them living so close together when we want to visit, but worrisome in the midst of something like this! But... I've had a sense that all are ok throughout all of this.

The places my mom was had backup generators. And getting fuel to those will be a priority Jo SInce Alabama was affected, I wonder if Amy (Lake Goddess) and family are OK. Has she been in contact with any one? Or am I way out geographically? Rose @}>->-- Being educated means that rather than fearing the unknown, one seeks to understand it. RB Please remove "Ima" to reply. Since we didn't have much damage in Montgomery and Amy lives north of here, I don't think they would have been affected.
