Pics of our House after Gustav

Our house after Hurricane Gustav.



Close up of the column that fell and broken lights.



Where the column should have been and some bent siding.



Our back yard. The shed lost both doors. One was found in the front of the house across the street. The other is behind the shed. Our back fence is leaning and the fence between our neighbors yard is gone in some sections.



Overall, there is nothing damaged that can't be fixed. We were really lucky down here in South Louisiana.

Gustav

Logan and I evacuated for Hurricane Gustav on Thursday, Aug. 28. It's a good thing we did because traffic was terrible the next few days. Pregnancy and long car rides do not mix. Neither do small high energy boys and long car rides.

Richard stayed behind and boarded up our house and then evacuated with his parents on Sat to MS also.

On Monday, September 1st, I ended up in the emergency room because of awful pain in my back. The first hospital I went to in Meridian thought it might be a kidney stone but the ultrasounds did not find anything. So, I went back to my parents house with painkillers and suffered through the night.

The next morning my dad had called a few members of his church and got me an appointment with an OB in Meridian. So, we drive back over to Meridian, which is about 30 miles from my parents house. I wait in the OB office for what seems like forever and they do more ultrasounds and I see the OB doctor. She admits me to a different hospital than I went to the day before to have an IVP done. They do the IVP and find out it is a kidney stone and I'm put on antibiotics and more pain medicines. On Wednesday, I talk to a Urologist, who thinks the stone has passed and he says I can leave as soon as the OB discharges me. We waited forever for her to come and see me. I finally got to leave around 8:00 pm Wednesday night.

So, I feel better, but this pregnancy has been terrible so far. I've been sick, achey, stoney, and just Bleh!! Little Landon David is definitely worth it but I wish I would just feel good again.

Through it all, our house survived the storm and that definitely is a great thing! We should be going home Monday, Sept. 8th or Tuesday, Sept. 9th! Maybe everything will be back to normal! And I pray Hurricane Ike does not come our way!! I don't want to deal with evacuating again.

On a good note, Logan did get to spend lots of time with my parents!
