The hurricane that is William Henry Eidson was unleashed upon the world on Monday September, 8th at 7am, and was followed shortly thereafter by hurricane Ike. Susan's recovery was incredibly fast and almost pain free, and we left the hospital just in time to take cover from the storm. Here's a timeline:
Monday - William born
Thursday - discharged from hospital at 12pm, go to JV (northwest Houston)
Friday - Wait for storm
Saturday - clean up 2 massive trees that fell in parents' yard
Sunday morning- check on our house in Pearland - no fence, damaged roof, and water spots all over the ceiling (mostly upstairs)
Sunday evening - pack up again and head to Edna Texas..... two nights without power + newborn + wife recovering from major surgery = pandelerium, so we decided to head south and get some AC and safe drinking water.
On our way out we saw some chaos - hundreds (yes, hundreds) of people lined up outside of a Walmart, gas lines 30 cars long, and no power all along the west Beltway. But, Hooters on 59 South had power and was serving people - if there was ever an excuse to go to Hooters (never been myself) now would be the time....

This makes me so sad for you guys. Not the whole hurricane thing, but the fact that you were forced to eat at Hooters. Kidding....I've been thinking about y'all non-stop. Sorry about my obnoxious phone calls. Hermann told me later that he had already talked to you. Hope everything is going well. Can't wait to meet William!!
