Wow - there seems to be no end to it! I am praising God today for sparing our house, property, friends, family, neighbors, church members and pets! There are in excess of 2 million residents without power.  Even though the hurricane has passed, millions can not return home due to impassable roads, downed power lines and destruction.  There are scores of huge old oak and pine trees just laying around everywhere.  The rain has not let up for over 24 hours now and is forecasted to continue for a couple more days.  I want to thank everyone for the prayers for my safety in travelling back to Louisiana from OKC.  A couple of times it got kinda hairy but all is well!  The hospital where I work is a regional command center for hurricane victims, so needless to say, we have been quite busy. 
The best news is that I have finally finished and passed all the pre-op requirements. YEA!! So I am one giant step closer to the bench.

I am so happy you and your family are well.  I was worried about you guys!

Yippee!!!  Now you can get a surgery date!  Hopefully you can get a date when you want it to be.  Good luck!
I have maintained for one year at this point.  I am steady at -120 pounds.  =)

Glad you're safe and sane -- well, maybe not so sane.  We'll continue to think of you and pray for you and your community.  Lynette

I praise God with you, for protection and favor. I will continue to pray. Take care of yourself, and try not to get too tired. I'm excited about your surgery. I'm sure it will be soon.
Blessings,
Mary

 Hi, Camille, I'm so glad you made it home safely.  You have been in my prayers with the traveling and hurricane and everything.  Congratulations on passing all the pre-op requirements.

I was getting annoyed at all the wind reports on the news-it's the water that was the danger to most people.  I'm glad you and your family are safe.
