Dudleys Diary

since Thursday night went the power went out. Dudley spent a long night trying to sleep without his breathing machine and oxygen concentrator. He would sleep for a while and then wake up gasping for air with his heart racing. It was that way all night long. Dudley called and reported the outage and reminded them that I was a critical care customer. There were over 200,000 people without power due to the snow storm. Friday evening Dudley went and checked into a motel and got Frank to carry his stuff up to the room. The power company got the power back on Saturday afternoon but after about an hour it went back off. Finally late Saturday night it came back on for good. It took several hours to warm the house back up from a low of 51 degrees Saturday morning. Dudley stayed in the motel Saturday night as he had paid for a second night and came back home around noon on Sunday. The photos above are from Thursday before the power went out. Lizzie and Foxy had fun walking in the snow and building a snowman and Frank enjoyed cooking hamburgers out on the grill. Dudley' great aunt "sister" would have said she hoped the "fool killer" was not out. The record snowfall was quite enjoyable until the power went out. It wasn't quite so much fun after that.
