Update . . .

I found a connection here at the hospital.

Scottie is not well, at all.

We are going to trache him today, and prepare ourselves and the girls for the reality that he is gone.

Meanwhile, I am under mandatory evacuation starting tomorrow because Ike is heading straight towards my house. The kids are with Dave and Lisa, but I am going to have to get clothes, computers, pictures, etc.... packed and ready.

It just never seems to get any easier, does it?

I'll try to stay in touch, but it may be a few days.

You know I'm thinking about you at this really difficult, awful, frightening time.

I know that a lot of people are relying on your strength at the moment, and somehow, you will find the reserves to do what you need to do. You are a good, brave person.

Big hug.

Your family is in my thoughts.

May the sun shine again for you soon, K.

You will get through this. All of it.

Stay safe. We're all thinking about you. When I saw the Ike report this a.m., I told MathMan that it was the last thing you needed right now.

Hugs.

Big hug from here, too.

Anne said...

Oh, BSR. I second what others have said, and I continue to admire your strength and courage.

Big squeeze of a hug.

Just know I'm thinking of Scottie and his girls and all of you at this time of need. Please hang in and let us know if you need any shoulders to lean on 'cause we are all here. As DCup says, be safe.

Love, Vikki

Get thee hence!

I'm so sorry -- you seem to be living the metaphore of the storm, too.

Keep safe, and know it is what your brother would want, too.

When it rains, it pours. (so to speak)

I'm sorry to hear about your brother. Know that you have done all you could. I send my best wishes to his daughters and hope they will grow strong for their early loss.

Take care of yourself and the kids. I will send positive thoughts that Ike leaves your house intact and undamaged.
