Water, water everywhere there is water

I posted earlier this week about our bedroom ceiling leaking and the guys were at the house all day Monday and Tuesday fixing the pipe that busted in the attic. Wednesday the ceiling stopped leaking and then Thursday it started leaking again. When we called them Thursday they said there was a lot of water up there and it would just have to dry out and then it would quit dripping. Friday morning it was really dripping bad and I didn't have much hot water to take a shower and so I asked my driver to go up in the attic and see if he could see anything wrong. He looked around and said that the hot water heater was empty and it was leaking water. So yesterday they came back out and was here all day fixing the water heater leak and so now we are waiting to see if the leaking water will stop. We are having a friend check on the house while we are in the states so it doesn't flood while we are gone. We also decided to turn all water off to the house before we leave.
