What West Nile Epidemic?

Given the disciplinarian is away in Houston, dad got out of his cage during the storm to explore the wilderness with Russell (Jon), the Wilderness Explorer.  Muguet snapped some photos of dad's journey over to their house below.  The water hit fresh highs, never seen before in our lives, but didn't do any damage to most houses on our end of the neighborhood (thankfully).

And we have even better news: the waters receded enough to get the SUV accross the bridge, mom told me she could feel the waves lapping under her feet on the floor of the car.  I'm sure she handled that very calmly, and didn't stress Jon or dad out at all!

They are making the traffic-jammed journey over to Houston tonight, and are experiencing air conditioner for the first time in 3 days.  We are excited to see them!

Sissy's beginning shots of neupogen tomorrow and they will begin collecting the stem cells from her on Tuesday.  Dad has 12 appointments on Tuesday, and his schedule online is pointing to the chemo "shock" going in on Sept 13 with the stem cells going in probably several days after that.
