I was truly doubtful that we would have the new air card by now, but kudos to Sprint! On top of that we had amazingly purchased insurance on the thing so the replacement didn't cost us!! Just hope it lasts longer than that first one. Would you believe that the car part was under warranty, and that repair didn't cost us either! To have malfunctions, we've come off pretty good, huh?
Gary and I are sitting in our recliners watching the endless reports predicting the landfall of Hurricane Gustav. We are packed and will leave to drive to Mr Billy's tomorrow morning. I am only stressed when I think about it all. As long as I focus on one thing at a time I do fine. It is incredibly hard for Gary as he is physically able to do very little.
Yesterday he had his last dentist appointment, and then we drove out to the new Bogalusa armory. It is certainly a place the Guard can be very proud of!! Gary enjoyed visiting with the guys, but he came home and slept for the rest of the day.
His kidney function number is at 1.65. Praise God! The kidney doctor told us that he would be comfortable with the BMT when the count reaches 1.5. We could possibly be there by now if the improvement has continued. The blood work was done on Monday. Dr. Oubre faxed the report to Tulane and called the transplant doctor while we were in his office Wednesday but had to leave a voice mail. We don't exactly know the next move. We will do labs again Wednesday. Then I become a pest if I haven't heard from anyone. That's not at all something I enjoy doing , but we are so ready to get this show on the road.
Thanks for the prayers and cards. God is good.

Hi Gary & Robbi
We were wondering how things were going & if you would be evacuating. Greg talked to your Mom this morning Gary while she was on the phone with my Mom & she said that you were on your way to Robbi's mom's.
Praise God for the improved kidney number!! Our church, family & friends have all been praying & asking for updates, so I will pass the news on to them. We will continue to pray for improvement & wisdom for all those caring for you and physical, emotional & spititual strength to continue the fight.
Sure do love you guys. Let us know if there is anything practical we can help with.
Greg & Patsy
That's fantastic news, Robbi...Emily and I have been praying for you and Uncle Gary for some time, and will certainly continue to do just that!
Be safe during the storm, and know that we're thinking of you from TN.
Aaron & Emily
Rachel is safely out.
Very limited problems today though the Daywatch deputies are worthless. There's going to be an evening watch revolt if we don't get to ride together in the future.
House is as secured as it's going to get. God willing and the 17th street canal don't rise.
Probably be billeted Monday morning at the galleria. Food, water, generators on seen. I have my own supply of food and water and the neighbor has offered his generator.
Real popular with the neighbors now that the storm is here. Rachel and I have six phone numbers of houses people asked me to keep an eye on.
Don't worry about me.
Love Jer
P.S. if dad knows someone from the unit in Shreveport they will be working with us in the district. If he has a name and contact I could use it.
