Things are starting to Dry Out

Hello all, sorry for the long absence- here is the update from Iowa. We have had intermitent access the the internet due to a host of reasons. Our house faired very well compared to what you all have seen on the national news. A bit of water in the basement, but nothing hard to handle (did not even cover 1/4th of our basement). Lynda has had some struggles as you might guys will all the toxins and whatnot in the air. Her skin is very red and she has been fighting off an infection for the better part of a week. Laurie & I have gone into over protection mode with her since her peds unit is still closed due to the flooding. Dad lost both his boats and we are very saddened by this, it was a great escape for him and we enjoyed watching fireworks from down on the river. We drove down trying to find a friends house in the area near where the boats were docked and it was horrific. We could not even bring ourselves to take pictures it was so bad. If you can and have the means, please do donate to the red cross. If you would like to give to our local red cross chapter for flood relief, please click here!

As a family we count our blessings. All our family members are safe, all our homes made it and god blessed us all for being Iowans!

Have a great day.

Sean
