1. 10:15am I am at the hospital waiting for the doctor to
give me an update on Jeff's condition, I want to extend many
thanks as there are currently about 30 people at the blood
bank in Cabo san Lucas donating blood, there are also about
15 people in La Paz donating blood for the platelets that
are needed for Jeff's surgeries scheduled for Thur. It is
very comforting to know that there are so many generous and
concerned people, keep the prayers coming and if we need
more blood I will keep you posted. Thank you from the bottom
of my heart. Kimberly Ford
2. 11:45am Latest update on Jeff Niemi's condition....I was
able to go in to see Jeff and he is sleeping, he seems to be
comfortable and there is a nurse in the room with him 24/7.
I also spoke to the surgeon and the orthopedic surgeon
and they said that Jeff is stable and will be receiving 2
units of blood today, he is scheduled for surgery tomorrow,
he has many fractured and broken bones, last night his right
lung began to leak air so there is a chance that if he is
air lifted to the states his lung could collapse. Jeff's
sister and daughter are arriving today. Jeff is currently
conscious and able to make decisions for himself, if he is
unable his family will be here to make them for him. The
doctor told me that he has never seen such a response to
donate blood and that Jeff must be a very special guy, I
told him that we have a very tight community in Los Barriles
and that everyone helps each other, it it very comforting
for me to see the outpouring of love prayers and blood. Keep
the prayers coming. They said they have enough blood for
now, however if Jeff stays here they will need more for his
future surgeries. They also need to replace the blood that
they are using. Also not all of the blood will be accepted
so this is why it is so very important to keep giving.
The number to donate in Cabo is 624 105 0354 and the
number in La Paz is Cesar Amora 045 612 158 1726
Thank you everyone for your love and support, it is
what we need for Jeff right now...I am also posting updates
on my facebook page Kimberly Glick Ford, if you would like
receive these please send me a friend request. With all my
love, Kimberly
