December 26/27 Day 2

After the fire dept came and put the fire out the only thing left was the floor. Our friends and family came out to. Give support and share in our grief. Dad was coughing smoke but refused to go be checked out in the ER. We took Mom to be checked out and to get her meds refilled, because she had lost them all in the fire. We had know idea if they would refill them for her because she had just had them filled the week before. Wal-Mart was great they called into Dr. Office and got the meds approved, mom had her meds by that evening. She lost her C-pap machine in the fire and wedidnt know what to do it would have to wait. We called the Red Cross; we were told they wouldn't be able to send anyone out until the next day. We didn't know what we were going to do about a place to sleep. We got a call from the redcross agent who had just got back into town from Kansas; he came on out and brought some personal care comfort bags and a blanket. He set up a money card and reviewed our needs, we got a motel to stay in for 3nights, mom & dad got money for clothes and food for a couple of days. The next morning we were all still in shock and not sure what to do. Mom didn't sleep well without her C-pap machine,she also needed it because of her heart problem. I called her C-pap supply company C-Pap Works and they arranged for her to get an extra machine they had; it was an older model but set up to where she could use it until she got another one. Great Blessing for us. We spent the dayat the indian clinic getting mine & my dad's meds, glasses ordered, paperwork done, it was our comand center for the day.
