I heard today that the king suffered a bout of hyperthermia, but is doing 
fine. Personally, I think that is taking "joining in with the common masses" 
a bit far, but I felt better for all our troubles. Everyone is much better 
today. We got the report from the hospital. When they arrived, after 2 hours 
of oxygen, they had levels of 22% to 16% (for the kids). So, considering that 
CM poisioning drops by half each hour, the doc figures they were in the area 
of 60-75% poisioned; and 78% is considered fatal in most cases. **shudder**. 
Can't believe how close a call it was. 

And mostly, I'm very proud of my retired EMT hubby who took control at the 
firestation and broke into the rescue bags for oxygen. The EMT/Paramedic team 
was out on a hunting/shooting run with the rig, and the only people at the 
firestation were the volunteer department setting up for a luncheon. So, he 
barked orders and got it handled for the two hours before the ambulance crew 
got back. I've never seen him in that kind of action before. I guess you 
never lose your training. I'm so proud of him.

Lars :) blissfully teary that things have gone so well under such bad times. 
And I need another drink....
