73 Thank you. We will call Reyes today. We have his info, he is a friend of my husband. I suspected he was all over it, but wanted to make sure. I
will pick up a bag of food for the dogs and some McJessees for Reyes... Will need to find out if it is legal to cross the border with it LOL. Thank
you all! I know I am a "newbie" nomad but I already feel a part of this community.

Update:
I just spoke with Christine again, she says that unfortunatly at the hospital (Sanatorio del Carmen) they only take cash, and they paid all the cash
they could get which was about $5000, but there is still 25000 pesos needed by tomorrow to cover the expenses of the blood transfusion and treatment
that Ron is being given.
Christine and her husband could not cover this as they had no more cash and Del Carmen would NOT take a credit card.
She also told me that her dad was slowly being taken off the sedatives, that he can hear her but can not answer yet. Christine also reports that Ron
is looking much better than Cristina as far as external injuries go.
Apparently they will be performing a surgery on Ron, but they are just waiting until he is successfully off of the breathing apparatus and off the
sedatives, as well as the swelling needs to go down a bit more.
Thats all for now, I'll post more news as soon as I get it.
Big thanks to all nomads who are helping and sending prayers and positive vibes, I will now go spend a little while with my family as they are feeling
a bit left out.
Live life as well as you can,

At what cost?
We need to free this man. His benefactors are being milked dry.
I was told that Del Carmen didn't have MRI machines. Do they...in fact?

In Tubares, Sinaloa - I literally was driven into a section of Mexico where problems happen and Police nor Military would have interveined. Some
drunks called me the 'N' word, called one of the group members a name for being White, and proceeded to get their friends and their rifles to attack
us.
These drunk lookouts for the Sinaloa Cartel had to be calmed down, and we got out of Tubares, Sin. before any of us were killed. For this reason, I
am very careful when traveling either around town, here in the 'States, and out of the country. Fights can be lost, and the unexpected can always
occur.

I can't wait to see that whacky face avatar of Rons on here again. I gave him a hard time about it years ago - but it cracks me up every time I see
it. With a broken jaw he may not be able to talk - but hopefully he can type (when he feels up to it).
Way to go Nomads - This is exactly why I enjoy being a part of this community - everyone pulls together when needed.

My husband just talked to Reyes and he told him everything is under control down at Ron's house. No worries there, but we will still take food for the
fur babies.

As a relatively new "newbie" although I have been lurking for a long time I want to comment on what I just saw, and saw when Mike and Don-Kay needed
help.
This site and you people are FRIGGIN (sorry, but needed) AWESOME.
I am very proud and totally in awe at the effort that was carried out by everyone.
Wow!!!

all very true.
but on the US side the doctors will give care first and wait for your people to show up later, if ever..... and they won't hold you until someone pays
the bill.
just a little different.

Please make sure Ron's daughter knows the exchange rates and to goto a bank to change dollars. It's close 13 pesos per dollar right now.

Is it possible that Ron has private US health insurance? Many companies do cover out of country care. It isn't always easy to get them to pay up,
but if you are persistent they do.
Edit:
It is necessary to pay the bill in cash or by card if they accept it before leaving the hospital. but insurance companies will reimburse. The hang-up
is that they want very detailed receipts-- American style and in Englis and US$. This is not always possible, as Mexican records are not formatted
the same way as US hospital records. But they do still have to pay, and after much "discussion" they will come through.

the US hospitals now have reason to discharge patients ASAP: revised medicare will not reimburse hospitals for hospital-acquired infections,... if
they had same law in mexico, they would send you home pronto with an IOU!
can a person really not walk out of a hospital w/o paying? what are they going to do, shoot you?
