Head gasket blown!??! Help, Swedecar!

Over the last couple of weeks, my coolant has been mysteriously dsiappearing. I thought I saw some leakage around the water pump, so I assumed I was in for a water pump repair pretty soon. Lo and behold, I check the oil level this eve, and the dipstick is a frothy, milky mess!
At worst, I've been driving it around this way since I last checked the oil - two weeks or so - poss. 250 miles?. Is my engine toast? If not, what has to be done to the engine besides head gasket? Flush/teardown? How do you get all of the coolant out of the block? It's CPO, so when Saab dealer repairs car, can I expect them to do everything necessary to insure long term reliability of repair? Should I dump this ride once fixed? Help!
2000 4 cyl lpt w/ 52.5K - oil changes w/ Saab semisynth every 5k.
