When Quinn was born, and we realized the severity of his clubfoot, I remember the clinic telling me “Your child will walk. Dr. W. goes to Haiti, and the children walk down from the mountains on the tops of their feet, the clubfoot impairments are so severe, and he is able to fix their feet and allow them to walk normally”.

Lambi fund looks wonderful. Thanks for the link. Off to donate.

We are safe with the kids inland. We finally have confirmed that all family members are off the island as of a couple hours ago. The west end of Galveston is under water, and it looks like the Seawall will not be tall enough to prevent the surge from flowing over it and down onto the island. It is bad, bad, bad. All of Bill’s family is behind the wall, so if the the wall can’t hold the sea back, they will all lose their homes to the flooding. (sigh)

If the surge is high where we are, we might lose the boat and the trailer, but right now it is looking so very much better than Wednesdays outlook did. Winds will be up toward 50 mph and gusting higher where we live…..IF Ike turns. I am still not convince it will turn due north.

Thanks for all your thoughts, prayers and love. We are so grateful for your love and friendship, Hopcias!!
