I'm thinkin Chava will probably be driving back to SQ tonight as he has family and animals to take care of too. This happened to Ron and Cristina before they were able to pay Chava for the weeks work, so we will lend Chava 3000-4000 pesos until things get settled a little more.....

Ok, here's the latest, I just called Chava and he said they were just now waiting for the doctor to get an update on Ron's condition and then they are heading over to Hospital General to see Cristina, who seems to be stable for the time being (WHEW!)

Thanks to those who sent minutes to his cell!

RE: Celia and Binational Emergency...

4:27pm Pacific Time

She just called me again and has been in touch with a military doctor she works with. He is supposed to be on his way to the hospital(s) to assess the situation and see what they can do about evac or whatever is necessary.

Sirenita: great news! Next time you are talking to Chava can you ask him about whos taking care of the house/animals? Or if hes headed back tonight? Also please tell him that Pamela and Mike will lend him some money to tide him over the next little spell.

Very proud to be a Nomad today.

I have a list of folks to call in Baja if the sh-t hits the fan.
They include Ron, Shari, Diane/John, Hose A, Comitan, Pompano, Bob ....
I wish I could do more.
Ron drove 3 hours out of his way to help me with my stranded truck.
He never met me before, he just came to see if he could help.
He deserves all the help we can give him.

From 2,000 miles away, I am ready with credit card if needed.

Shari - as soon as you or Sirena know if Chava intends on going home and can handle med list and gas off and water pump off etc. - and whether dogs will be able to handle a stranger there if need be - please let me know so I can get someone to go over. gracias :)

Just talked to Chava, they will be heading back to SQ tonight so he said he would take care of things at the house, they are now waiting for Ron's daughter to get here then he will call me so I can head over to translate and see if she needs anything.

This is an extreme situation and I'm not going to proofread or tip toe around feelings. Bigwooo and I are very frustrated to be so far away.

Based on Dennis' friend Dr Janeen's assessment, this facility is not capable of handling injuries as severe as Ron has. He needs to get out of there now because doctor updates and status reports are not treatment! And Cristina may be "unchanged", according to a recent report but for some reason she is intubated and on a ventilator which means she is unconscious.

Along with Pompano, we will offer $1000 to go towards transferring Ron to a facility that can TREAT his injuries, and/or if there is a remote chance of transferring Cristina to a higher level facility. I can do an immediate online transfer to another Mexican bank account if necessary.
