Glad to be alive. Not glad to be in Chch

Emily and I are fine and well, -we were sitting beside the avon river at the park at the time of the quake. lucky. As for the hospital and ronald Mcdonald house, I do not know what is going to happen yet.
 We were allowed into Ronald Mcdonald House for 5 minutes today to grab some belongings, so I just got a few things, I was shocked at the state of the inside of the building, Our bedroom seems to be on a slope now so I do not know if we will be allowed back.
I am waiting to see what will happen with Emily, as she is due to start chemo next week. I have no idea if she will have her treatment here or in auckland or?
There was no room for Emily and I at the hospital, so Luckily I have been taken in by my Dad's lovely relations (whom I have never met before now). I am glad to be out of the city centre.
The people at Ronalds have been great and I know they are devestated, as it is so uncertain as to what will happen to Ronald McDonald House and the families staying there.
I told my hubby today to come up cause I need him,so he will come up tomorrow.
We are just so thankful to be safe and well, and i feel for all those who are going through such a traumatic time.
