Any ideas where I can send blankets, baby and kids clothes, shoes, etc? I'd like to donate what I can, I'm sure they need it.

I'm sure if you contacted your local Red Cross or FEMA they could tell you. It's very kind of you!

Unfortunately, with all the power and phones out, I have no idea how or when I will hear any word (especially since I'm about as far away as you can get in the continental U.S.).

We heard from our family last night. They are all in Baton Rouge now, some with out power. But thankful to have gotten out of New Orleans. Of course I do have one hard-headed cousin that wouldn't leave, but hopefully someone will hear from him soon.


Thanks everyone for praying for all of the people down there.

Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: Hi! I am Laura, the mom of Tyler, who has a ROBPI. I've been a member of this site since 1998 and owe a great deal to the wonderful people in the UBPN community who have helped us along the way get what we needed to get done for Tyler. Tyler is now 14 years old and in the 9th grade. He's a super bright kid and loves his video games. Tyler had the mod quad surgery with Dr. Shenaq shortly before he passed. That was his first and only surgery. Now that he is older he is requesting additional surgery. He'd like to be able to supinate. Our goal is for Summer 2013.
Location: Gulf Breeze, FL

Oh my GOSH!! We made it! I am on the Gulf Coast of Alabama (on the Mississippi, Alabama border) and we made it thru. We got the East side of the storm, which is the bad side to be one, but we were not hit near as bad as Biloxi/Gulf Port & New Orleans. We are still without power, but running on generators here at work. I work for the major paper in Alabama and am getting all of the devestating news first hand. It's horrible! We had trees down, major flooding, houses and restaurants being ripped away from their foundations, bridges being hit by oil rigs....I could just go on and on. We are truly blessed to still be here and breathing.
