I talked to Aunt Louise today and she said Aunt Marie is doing great and should be discharged in the near future from the nursing home (Maison Deville, Harvey, La). Aunt Louise told me that Autn Marie wanted very much to go back to her house on Ave B but has decided to take offer from Bobby and Donna to stay with them at their home for now, which Aunt Louise likes since she lives only 4 blocks away from them. Me and Lea' plan to go visit Aunt Marie tomorrow and will give another update soon.
Luv Ya!

Hurricane IKE update
Monday Sept, 15, from Monica (Wendy's daughter)
We are just getting back up and running here in Houston. We were out of power from about midnight Friday until Sunday evening... what a great moment that was when the lights finally flickered!! We have minor damage: part of our fence is down, roof leaks, tree branches everywhere; but not as severe as some of our neighbors within feet of our house! There are many trees down on peoples houses and vehicles as well as severe flooding. Our area here in Cypress got lucky overall. So today we are in clean up mode, hoping the nearby stores open soon so that we can get food and gas.
Christine stayed at a friend's house and they lost power and water with the same type of minor damages. We are all fine though.

One more thing... a great local website to see pics of Ike's damage is www.click2Houston.com

Aunt Marie update
Here is latest update on Aunt Marie from Aunt Gloria:
I called Louise tonight and she said Aunt Marie was going into a nursing home tomorrow. Louise said Marie was in a very delicate condition. She cannot walk, go to the bath room nor do anything that needs any energy. Louise said she died two or three times, she is very weak and doesn't have much energy. Louise has been going to Mandeville every day and is glad she is being moved to the West Bank.
Also Aunt Lil and Uncle West are back in their house after losing power from Gustav, they had been with Judy in Houston while power was out. Will be getting further updates on how family in Houston made out after Ike.
Luv,
Laurie

Updates from family e-mails:

Aunt Marie has suffered a heart attack. She is in Laveview Regional Hospital in Mandeville, LA. ICU, room 8. She is not doing well. Her cousin Catherine Marrow, New Orleans, just called. They were in Mandeville together, at Catherine's son's home, when Marie became ill.
They are trying to locate Louise. I told them what you told me. Talk later, I will try to contact one of Carolyn's kids.
Love you, Gloria

Jerry talked to Louise and Marie in the ICU this morning. They are trying to get her to West Jefferson Hospital in Marrero. I guess she is on the mend.

Hey,
We got home yesterday evening from Natchez. Gary got home from trip about dark. He had to alter his way back through Alabama and Miss.The second night of our evacuation the city of Natchez had a blackout due to severe weather. Then there was a fire on the second floor about an hour after the blackout. No fire alarm sounded. We were all trying to round up all the kids and grandkids. We climbed in our cars and drove them to the front of the building closer to the road. Oh and the fire trucks went to the wrong Hotel next door. We sat in tropical storm weather with 45 MPH winds for 2 hours. Was led back into our hotel after smoke was blown from building. Still had no power couldn't open windows. No room service for another 24 hours. Only had generators for hallways and lobby lights. No AC.

Bart, Candi, Laurie, Chris, kids,3 dogs and pet turtle come home Wednesday to no power! Exhausted and worn out a friend of Bart's that was still in Al. told him to try to get in his back door of his house in Marrero. And with the expertise use of a credit card he got in. We were happy to have a place to stay for the night!! Penny and Kenny came home to power on Thurs, but had a full house for those who still did not. Laurie, Bart and Lea' just got power back on Friday night. Brett came home Friday from Little Rock and did have power. No damage to our homes just lot of debris.
