Well, he's remembering more and more about things that took place...
...and what they tell me they want to do is keep his hypertension, blood pressure, etc.. down, and that he's likely to boil over if he finds out many
details of what happened to CRISTINA.
I've received a request from the family that if Ron goes home tonight - and from what I hear he wants out of the hospital a.s.a.p..... that they wish
that I might conceal the posts on this thread (like to the newspaper article[s]) - or even the whole thread - for a short time.
Much of this revolves around what discussion Cristina and Ron are having at the hospital right now.
And yes, I'm confirming - again - that she IS at the del Carmen visiting with Ron. |
We start a new thread...........in the General Topics.
A "Get Well" thread with all the funnies and love...no reference to the incident itself.....
I'm out the door here and HAVE to go. DENNIS...you wish to open a new "get well" post?

Sirenita, Well Put.....
His Family should decide on that. His wife made this decision not to inform him now. If she feels that he should be told about it, I am more than
confident that she will do so or ask for someone to tell him. She knows Ron more then anyone on this Forum.
I think, we should be glad that they are this well now. Ron is a big boy, and if I had to guess he knows what is going on and he is going along with
us.
It was very important that he heard or seen Cristina. She was there and talked to him.
One thing at a time please.

Sure, Deno....as soon as he is in a condition to read and understand it.
We shouldn't rush these things.

so glad that Cristina is up and about !!! Now she gets to make all the decisions along with Chrissy...... The way I see it is: We are off the hook
folks, IMHO all we should do now is be on the sidelines and cheer A LOT and be there for the family ..
Congratulations Cristina and Ron on crossing one huge milestone !!!
Our prayers will surely continue so that the road ahead be smoother ....

Ok, finaly, out here on the sidewalk I can get signal for my laptop. Christine is on her way down and should be here within the next 4 hours and then
the family will be in charge of all the decision making. Thank you all for the support you have provided for Ron and Cristina. As i wrote before, I'm
not going to be repetitive since I have been in contact with Doug via Nextel and he has reported to you. I feel honored to have been able to be here
these last few days to help out as needed.
I will continue to keep you all informed via Doug of any further developments.

As noted by LV, this is the request/determination of his wife. I'm told that she did not give him any further details when speaking with him today.
I would agree with another comment earlier that Ron's not an Internet newbie... even if/when I pull this thread (temporarily) - it's quite possible
(maybe even likely) that he'll find the detailed stories published in the media anyway.
Looks like he's staying another night at del Carmen.
More donations have come in today from Nomads. Thank you. FDT is picking those up at Western Union right now I believe. It's likely that beyond
today, the preferred way of getting donations to the family is sending Western Union to them in Ensenada. I'll let you know.
btw... 2 things we've learned:
- Use Western Union if you need to safely and quickly get $ to someone (at least in Ensenada). They've been flawless. Do not use Moneygram, even
though their posted fees are lower.
- Given a choice of sending $ directly to the hospital, or to a family member or advocate... probably the latter, as the former presents some
"challenges".
Just sayin'....

Oh My! We just returned home from vacation and just read about this horrible attack. They caught five of the seven and hopefully they will get the
other two! I met Ron at the Younghusband presentation in San Diego and have been reading and following his posts and Talk Baja board for quite some
time.

Dear Ron, I'm sending this as a u2u because Doug might shut down your thread any time now. I've held off sending you wishes and I have no more money
to send you or anyone.
Lots of stories floating around about just what happened but I want you to know that you are my ultimate hero. You walked in the dark to your
neighbor's house where a half dozen young Mexicans were taking your nieghbor's car apart -- there was a terrific melee and when it was all over you
and your wife were seriously injured and you had killed all of them barehanded and destroyed their car.
When I learned you needed money for your hospital costs I sold my house and sent the money to somebody in Ensenada to help you.
I don't want you to worry about that part of it but if I ever come up your way and you happen to have some lobster (the co-op) and maybe some beers I
wouldn't say no.

Hey Ron,
Well, what can I say you and Cristina SCARED the bejesus out of us!!!! But you both have such warrior spirits that nothing was going to keep you
apart. You need to get back to your old gringo loco ways fast and furious. You owe me and the boys dinner at your place. Finish up that kitchen of
yours, because as your good neighbor I'll be making frequent stops for dinner. Rumor has it that we left out a few details, but I know that you will
figure things out on your own in due time. You can kick our butts later, but for now YOU and Cristina are who matters the most. I have never seen a
happier Ron than the one who caressed my phone hearing Cristina's voice. You and Christina are an inspiration to all of us. I wouldn't think twice
again to be by your side if you, Christina or Chrissy ever need me. But, don't milk it OK! You got lots of work waiting for you at home. You and
Cristina have inspired me to be a better person with a kinder heart. Paz y buena vibra Don Gomez!!!

You, Jorge, are a wonderful, sensitive human being. All of the right things to say and moves to make you have and it warms my heart to share in your
feelings for the Hoffs, Roland and Harriet.
By the humble way....I haven't as yet received your large and gracious Dollar/Peso effort to participate, so I'll YOUtooYOU my contact stuff once
again and may I suggest you double your rendition of largesse so your place in heaven will be carved it stone.
Grazzi....

Osprey- correction, you left out the part about the little green man jumping off the spaceship to take the bad guys dissect them and feed them to
their alien pets.

I set up a Western Union online account, but I still quite don't quite know where to send the funds. Would somebody please set up a paypal account?
Maybe somebody can set up a closed thread with instructions on sending funds. I don't care about transparency. I just want to send a modest amount of
money, and if it gets to where it's supposed to, so much the better.
