Friday August 11

Mike and crew got a new house today. I am bummed that i missed it because the house is near the levee break in the lower 9th and it still has a fridge in it! But on the plus side the house is covered in crap, and sludge and has spiders every where. So my sickness today has been a blessing.

I took 3 people to a clinic today and they were all diagnosed with giardia. That makes the total about 15. The CDC and FDA report that the highest isolated cases were 5 people, so go us for beating that record!

We are now in health crisis. K-Roll (one of the higher ups) and the rest of the common ground adminstrators/leaders have decided to close common ground starting Sunday. There are 3 places for people to go. 1 is to HOMA, in southern Lousiana to help out, 2 is to an apartment complex known as Woodland. They'll help do some clean up there too and the other is to stay here at St. Mary's and start on the clean up.

I've been trying to get in touch with Amy and Russell to see if they'd let us stay with them for Sunday Night to Monday because thank GOD! I come home on Monday.
