We will have to call in the CDC to investigate the water supply in Loch
Ruadh!

Well,  Laura decided that she didn't want to be outdone and had to be in the
same club as Cearell and Dana.

On Saturday morning, I was out doing yard work when Lauren came out
screaming that Laura couldn't breathe and that she had called 911.  I
immediately ran inside to find her on the couch, very short of breath.  I
stayed with her till the fire crew and amb
arrived.   They found an abnormal arrhythmia on the heart monitor and we 
loaded her up on the stretcher.   Out in the amb, they started
and IV and gave her some meds and took her to Hugley with the lights and 
siren on.   She got in and the ER Doctor examined her and
found she was very sick.  Her pulse rate was very low and her blood 
pressure had bottomed out.   With meds, they got her pulse rate back
up around 60 and her blood pressure up a little but still very much 
below normal.   The Cardiologist came in and took her up
to do her angiogram.  He found two blockages and she had another heart
attack during the procedure.  He put in two stents in
vessels located on the left side of the heart.   That area contains the 
conductive part of the heart and with the blood flow restored, her rate and
pressure came up to normal values.   Her indigestion and back ache went 
away when the stents went in.. imagine that!?!   :)

She is in ICU at Hugley but visitation is very limited and strictly 
enforced to even numbered hours    6, 8, 10, etc up till 8 at nite for 
15 minutes
at a stretch.   She has no phone in the ICU room but if they put her in 
another room with a phone, I will post that, tho I hope she will be coming
home soon, Monday or Tuesday.

I apologize for the lateness of this post, but it has been a long two 
days.   Will keep everyone posted tomorrow sometime.

Dunstan
