Al Larrabee is still in the Cardiac ICU at SW Washington Medical Center.

Today, about 1PM, I chatted for a bit with Al's daughter Jeanne Larrabee (oregon2236 at aol.com) who is here from Fort Lauderdale.

Jeanne told me that Al had collapsed on Wednesday (Nov 11) while at his gym, and his heart had stopped. A trainer and another person kept him going with CPR and mouth-to mouth until the EMTs got there. They used paddles to restart Al's heart.

The doctors have done an Angiogram and found some blockage at/near an existing stent site. It may need more attention than can be accomplished using instrumentation.

Doctors will be consulting with Sandy and Al to decide just what course to follow next (I assume this will take place today). Jeanne also said that Al is weak and a bit confused.

In his present condition, we should wait for calls and or visits, until Al's wife Sandy or his daughter Jeanne gives us the go ahead. Prayers and good thoughts are appreciated for now.

Jeanne called me as I was leaving to go to the library to email you folks. She said Al wanted to talk to me. I talked to Al for a brief few minutes. He sounds weak and sedated, but he is still the Al we all love.

Roger Windemuth or I will keep folks informed.

If I missed sending to anyone - please email me or call me at
(503) 635-8933
