Ana in the hospital... Scheduled Surgery
Ana ha estado padeciendo de dolores en la zona del hígado por lo menos 6 años! Realmente ningún médico había dado con el diagnóstico correcto hasta que hace aproximadamente dos meses Mike y ella estaban pasando un fin de semana en Austin y de repente el dolor se agudizó y Mike la llevó a la Sala de Emergencias. En ese momento, a través de un ecosonograma, se vieron claritas las piedritas en la vesícula.
En cuanto regresaron, yo llamé al cirujano que operó a Milagros no hace mucho, Dr. Jorge Leiva, un joven doctor que por su acento parece Mexicano. En el hospital lo llaman Antonio Banderas!
Entre Ana y él programaron la operación para el lunes pasado Sept. 29.
Segun el Dr. Leiva, la operación fue exitosa, y por medio de una cortadita cerca del ombligo, logro extirpar la vesícula.
La intervención es ambulatoria, pero Ana estaba con tanto dolor que el Dr. Leiva recomendó dejarla en el hospital para observarla mientras le administraban medicina para mitigar el dolor.
Esta es la segunda noche y todavía está hospitalizada. Aparte del dolor, también está mostrando la tensión muy baja 81/44.
Dios quiera que ya mañana puedan darle de alta y pase el resto de la semana en su casa. Se estima que debe regresar al trabajo el próximo lunes.

Ike's Path near Houston
Ike's path is shown to the east of Houston. It went right through Jenny's work (Exxon Mobil Baytown Petrochemical Plant). Ely and DeAnna were not at home when the storm went by their house. Jenny and Ted were very adventurous and brave and stayed home - I called them when there was still enough time for them to come to Tomball. Well, the eye was about 50 miles in diameter and they experienced the calmness of the eye for about two hours. By the time the worst winds hit Tomball/Spring area Ike was a CAT 1. I think we probably felt around 50 to 70 mph winds for about two hours. Six days after the storm, half of the population of the Houston Metro Area is still without power. It would take about two to three months to clean up Galveston.

God bless Texas!

We fled to Austin after Ike
We were forced out of our houses because we were out of electricity and water. Ely, DeAnna and the kids came to Austin and spent a couple of nights at the Holliday Inn on Business Park Drive in Austin where we were staying.
We found out that if you were a victim of Ike the hotels do not charge taxes. One blessing we were happy to hear.
The pictures you see here were taken at a marina on lake Travis. We were able to get to know Austin thanks to Ike.
God bless you and keep you safe.

Mr. Ike wants to visit Houston!
Today, Thursday 09/11 everyone in the family was let go home at noon so we could prepare for the storm.
Mila, Saul and Carla are staying at their house.
Jennifer and Ted are also staying at their house (Too close to Lake Houston)
Ana, Mike and Aurora are staying at their house.
Ely, DeAnna and all the kids, plus her sister and her babies are leaving for Bastrop to stay with Benjamin and Melissa.
I am staying at home.
I pray that our lives and homes are spare and we could go back to rebuilding as soon as possible.
God bless you and if we can't be contacted most likely is because the power and phone lines are down.
I went to get propane for the BBQ grill and it took me about one hour on that line that you see on the picture above. (One bottle is refill for $15.00 - 40# on the scale)
