[Loch-Ruadh] Stent club

[PBW]

I am so sorry Laura had to pick the Stint Club to be a member of! But I am 
glad that Lauren called 911 when Laura started having difficulty and that 
she got prompt medical attention. Please let us know if there is anything we 
can do. We will keep you, Laura and the girls in our thoughts and prayers.

Magdalea, Conal, and kids
