Our basement flooded Thurs. night with 5 inches of water. Don't know how he did it, but Dave morphed into Hercules and managed to save ALL our electronics, and the 2 pieces of furniture we'd miss most. Our washer and furnace are fine. Our dryer is toast. We were without hot water for 3 days. We imagine at least the bottom 2 or 3 feet of drywall throughout the basement will need replacing, the bar is destroyed, and the carpet, of course. The basement is so stinky. It's terrible. The adjuster will be here tomorrow AM. Good thing we increased our flood insurance 2 weeks ago. Our friend, Ryan is our hero. He rushed over Thurs. night to help Dave (I was at work), helping until 2 AM, and was here all day Fri. and Sat. He rocks!!!
My Grandma Grace is in the hospital. She had terrible chest pain Sun. night, and called the paramedics. She was as close to having a heart attack you could be without having one. She is having an angiogram tomorrow to check for blockage in her hearts arteries. She's really having a hard time being hospitalized. She thinks she'll never be going back home. She doesn't want to die in the hospital. So sad...
Grandma Dorothy is liking her 24/7 caregiver, as much as she can. She's a nice lady. Grandma is so very weak. She's having a difficult time walking , even with a walker. She now has a catheter in her bladder because she was retaining urine. She's been experimenting with pain meds now that she has full time help, but has yet to find one that will provide any relief. They all just make her very dizzy. She's so miserable.
Keep the prayers coming.
Don and Peggy, thanks for loaning us the battery. I believe Dave will be by Sat. to return it.
DJ, how's the new job?
Julie, thanks SO MUCH for showing me the blogger ropes. "B Connected" has been up and running a few weeks. We're having a great time.
Hope everyone is having a great week! :)
Lotsa Love,
Miss

Thanks for the update - and who is Ryan? Don't think I ever heard you mention him, but he sure is a wonderful friend. Your grandmas are in my prayers, as is the rest of your family. This has really been a rough time for your mom and dad. We'll be pleased to have Dave come by on Saturday. Pop will be working 8-3 and I'll be at Gram's much of the day, doing her laundry, etc. Perhaps Dave can come by later in the day so we don't miss him. We might even feed him some dinner....
Dangit - that's a bummer about your basement! Glad you had the forethought to up your insurance. Nice work. That reminds me that I vowed to copy our important documents like you guys recently did. I'll have to get on that...
And thanks for keeping us updated on your grandmas. Like Mom said, they and the rest of your family are in our prayers.
