Jeff Update  Received  5/10/11@11pm

Jeff was taken in ambulance yesterday at 6pm to Cabo airport to be air vac'd from ameri care. He had a safe flight and made it into the university medical center, Tucson safely,. He was sedated the whole time, and woke up this morning with the tube from throat to chest. The doctors had him breathe while awake with the tube in order to build up his lungs. This was quite frightening for Jeff as one can imagine.  He basically went through a four hour panic attack until his family calmed him down and finally got the tube out.  He is in much higher spirits now that he can talk and try to understand what is going on.  We greatly appreciate everyone's prayers and contributions so far.  He is expecting many weeks in the hospital and is not prepared to deal with that.  Jeff wants everyone to know he is extremely thankful for every doctor and blood donors he received in Cabo.

The chiropractor, Dr. Robert Jay Smith, will NOT be here this Saturday. He will be here following Saturday, May 21st, instead.

Announcing the Creation of a Blood Donor Data Base

     From the tragic case of Jeff Niemi, we’ve learned some things about our wonderful, supportive community: there are many people willing to donate blood, but there is a 24 – 48 hour lapse between accident and receipt of blood. We want to create a list of eligible, willing donors. Including their blood type, contact info, and months of the year they’re in residence. If Char has this data in her computer, volunteers can immediately call those with the needed blood type. We will update the list every few months.
     Please send your names and the above info to: kgmundt@yahoo.com   If you do not know your blood type, you can have it tested at AmeriMed here in LB on Saturdays for 200 pesos. Or have it done in the US at your next doctor appointment. It’s important to know when you need it yourself!

For review, here are the Mexican eligibility requirements:
1. General good health
2. Between ages 10 – 65

Ineligibility factors:
1. Kidney or liver disease
2. HIV
3. Viral hepatitis
4. Cancer or blood disorder
5. Heart disease
6. Certain medications

This data base hopefully will include donors from Todos Santos, La Paz, and the entire Cape region.

In addition to donors, we will need volunteers, willing to learn the nitty-gritty details, to man the phones when an accident occurs. Send me your names, too!
________________________________________________________________________________________
Data Base #2 for Emergency Info

     In an emergency, having critical information available to the responding crews and hospitals is invaluable. Char is asking that people come into the clinic and fill out a form for this data base only. A form will be available by e-mail for those who have already left for the summer. The information on the form will include emergency contact numbers, medical information, allergies, medications, blood type, insurance, address and phone numbers.
     Questions to ask yourself: if you are brought unconscious to the clinic or taken to the hospital, how do we contact your family members in the States? What is your medical history? What meds do you need? This information could save your life!

Anunciando la Creación de una Base de Datos de Donantes de Sangre.

     Después de la tragedia que le ocurrió a Jeff Niemi, aprendimos varias cosas de nuestra increíble y unida comunidad: hay mucha gente dispuesta a donar sangre, pero hay un lapso de 24 – 48 horas entre el accidente y la recepción de sangre. Queremos crear una lista de donantes voluntarios, que incluya su tipo de sangre, contacto, y disponibilidad  durante el año. Si Amerimed cuenta con estos datos en su computadora, se puede inmediatamente llamar a las personas que tengan el tipo de sangre que se necesita. Actualizaremos la lista de donantes constantemente.
     Te invitamos a enviar sus nombres, contacto, tipo de sangre a: kgmundt@yahoo.com   Si no sabes tu tipo de sangre, puedes solicitarla haciéndote un examen en Amerimed oficina de Los Barriles los Sabados por $200.00 pesos.  

Requisitos de elegibilidad de donantes:

1. Buena Salud en general
2. Entre 10 – 65  años de edad

No elegible si:

1. Enfermedad del Riñon o Higado
2. SIDA
3. HEPATITIS VIRAL
4. Cancer o problemas en la sangre
5. Problemas del Corazon
6. Bajo medicamentos

Esperamos que esta base de datos incluya donantes desde Todos Santos, La Paz, y toda la región de Punta del Este.
Puedes protegerte en caso de un accidente al registrarte como paciente en AmeriMed.

Mosquito netting.  Recently a person asked about netting for their bed.   I do not know where to get them, but…   We have basically not had one drop of rain in 9 months.  The mosquito we have here is aedes aegypti it is the one that can carry dengue if there is an outbreak .    It has some traits that should not allow it to be here, it needs moisture,  its range is very short, 400 meters is a long range and the typical is 50-100 meters of the site of emergence.   We can speculate generally they go back to this location in a desert with rain to lay the eggs.     Lifespan as short as one week but average of 2 week.    So you know the breeding location is nearby.   In a desert where we have no rain for 9 months this rules out many locations that tropical areas have problems with.    In general, refrigerator or air conditioner pans should be inspected.   I am sure no one has run their ac for many moons.    If someone has a water storage tank that is open this is a prime location, a neighbor who has a pool that is not maintained, any kind of birdbath, animal bowls, plant pots that are overflowed with water, construction sites where they fill barrels of water (these should be emptied about every 5 days)    and the one that is the main culprit down here is septic and house vents.    Take a walk around your neighborhood and find the construction barrels, septic vents, water tanks, house vents that are not screened off.    Take a ladder and some metal screen and electrical wire with and close them off.    If construction you will need to do this every 5 days till they are done.    While doing this pay attention to where there are buckets, boats, kayaks, garbage cans, wheelbarrows, pots  that do not drain, old tires and such so if we do get rain you can go empty those out.   None of my neighbors locals or from the north have said no when I do this.    If you do not have the ability or ladder to do this I can lend you my ladder or ask a local (Jose Luis) to do the inspection/work for you for a reasonable price.   My guestimate is I can get him to do it for about 300 pesos if a small area.     You will notice the difference in 1 week.
     When people leave for the season, they should put plugs and covers on all sinks, drains including shower drains, anything that has a “trap”, and even put saran wrap over the toilet bowl and tank to seal it  from evaporation.   Turn all flower pots upside down or fill with sand,  and have someone inspect after a rain.         dean@la-ventana.com

HINT!
EMERGENCY WATER. Fill your washing machine with water when our area gets a hurricane warning. If you do not end up using the water, just wash a load of clothes so no water is wasted.
Also, put important papers into an unplugged dishwasher.  It's waterproof!
