Taking the evening off


Yesterday (on Levi's mom's birthday) Levi's Dad, Dave, experienced a severe heart attack while at home. Levi's older sister lives nearby and was able to get him to the hospital where Levi's younger sister and nurse identified the heart attack, they were able to stabilize him and then flew him via helicopter to Bremerton regional hospital where they put a stint in his artery. Living up to true form Dave is proving to be just as tough as every little kid imagines their dad to be and has moved out of the ICU and into a normal recovery room. The Washington Larsons are banded together in Bremerton for each other and their dad, every part of us wishes we could be there too. Right now every mile we are away from Washington state and our family is palpable.

This afternoon baby Tanner and Nicole left. Still reeling from last night's events Levi and Jen decided to take the evening off. We sat in our backyard, drank mexican beer, watched the sun go down and talked about last night's big scare, our feelings, all the scary what ifs, and how grateful we are to have such an amazing family.
