Now that is cute!

Today...

Good morning! I sure hope this finds everyone well... We are still able to go out to check your houses and thus far, the police have not been a problem for us. Please let me know if you need help! Have a great day and phone, email or text if you need us!

We are out checking houses and feeding...

Please email or post if you need us to add you to the list! Phone service still inconsistent...

Tomorrow

We are so excited to be heading home! I am going to hold off on Thursday email(s) and will send on Friday. Travel safely...

Collective sigh of relief... We are putting our re-entry plans in place. We will have a full team working on Monday and a smaller team as soon as our First Responder Entry is allowed. Our Doctor(s), Nurse(s), and First Responder(s) will be our first priority and we will work out from there. It is our plan to have our Thursday email(s) send as scheduled. I will touch base with each of you... both weekly clients and those of you that have traveling contracts. We are watching the other systems very closely as well.

Collective crossing of fingers... Please use this post today. Again, posts are moderated and not all appear here. Some we reply to via email when we are away from the laptop. GREAT hearing from everyone.

To live this peace...

Three years later... and the next three days

The telephone has not stopped today. I want to talk to each and every person that calls. Someone offered to help with telephones today but I could not imagine not being the one to talk to everyone. Last night Sawyer came by to drop off her things to head back to Chicago to wait out Gustav. We had the usual small talk, we hugged and I said something like… “I will see you next week”. When she left I could not stop crying. I admit it! I kept thinking about three years ago when we all thought that we would be… right back. I started thinking about all of the clients that never returned. It made me really sad and even more concerned. But then I started thinking about my current team and our group of AMAZING clients. So many clients that are post Katrina additions. These three years have been amazing in so many ways… and when it comes down to it… we would not be who we are today without the experience. Thank you all for supporting this company that I love so much. It means more and more to me every day. Be safe and stay in touch!
