From Sean:
Everyone:Please take a moment to pray for all our friends and family in the path of this awful hurricane. If you could, include one for Mary.
My wife, Mary, is a nurse and is on duty at West Jefferson Medical Center, on the Westbank of the Mississippi river. She is a nurse in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and is taking care of sick newborns.
I am stuck at home in Baton rouge. My parents are here, but the full scale of what is about to hit new orleans with my wife there in the way is quite a burden. She is the love of my life and I can't even think about losing her. By the way, she is three months pregnant with our first child.
I know this will be bad no matter what- Katrina isn't going to turn around and go home. It would take a miracle today to keep all the people safe. Please pray for Mary and the others.
Spare a thought or a prayer for Mary and the babies who depend on her, her own baby, and for Sean and the rest of her family.
I'll add more prayers if people would like (add as a comment or email directly to me). I'll keep this tread bumped to the top. Until the danger passes.
