Larry C's big day and other doings

Larry C. had a heart attack on Sat. the 26th about noon. He's OK now. He was out mowing the lawn and went back in the house, dizzy, and told Sandy he didn't feel good. Sandy says that he then proceeded to make funny noises and his eyes rolled back and she called 911. Ilwaco Hospital or the aid car, unclear which, found him in fibrilation, about 250-285 beats per minute. Meds didn't stop it, so they applied the paddles and brought him back. They then shipped him to a hospital in Portland, Emmanuel something, where he had an angiogram yesterday. Angiogram was clear. This am, doctors were to decide whether to treat him with drugs or implant a pacemaker/defibrilator. We will talk with Larry at 6 tonight and find out what happened. He was resting comfortably at 6 last night.

Happy birthday wishes to Frank, Emma and my mom. We celebrated yesterday with a Caribbean party complete with rum punch, pina coladas, pineapple and coconut, and jellyfish!
Chels and MJ did the decorating and wore grass skirts and leis, as did Frank and Emma!! We made good use of the new blender, a C present from Erin and Erik, and the panini press, last year's b present from F and V. Pictures next post, I'm positive.

Razor clam tides this weekend, 4th and 5th, at Copalis. Tom is thinking of going down and digging with Cliff.

Thanks for the good wishes, Pat, and thanks for the thanks, Frank. I just wish we really could have been in the Carib., Frank. Wouldn't that be amazing!
