Update on Scott Landis   http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/scottlandis
Sunday, March 4, 2012 8:54 AM, PST
On the mend (Again!)  Submitted by Carla: Scott has been moved out of ICU which is great news!
     Hurrah! Most of his tubes and IVs have been removed. He is still trying to conserve strength and spend all his energy on healing. He is surrounded by loving family members and great medical staff so we ask that you save your visits and phone calls until later when he will truly be able to enjoy communication.
     Please continue to check the Caring Bridge site to find out when calls and visits will be welcomed. We are all hoping that he will be released from the hospital by the middle of next week. Then he can spend some time near the hospital in Seattle for doctor visits and tests and get back to Port Townsend as soon as his health will allow. Please continue to post to this site to communicate with Scott and the family and thanks so much for your ongoing love and support! It really makes a huge difference!

 This is an update on Ulises, who was earlier in the summer diagnosed with inoperable retinoblastoma, cancer of the retina. Thanks to the Los Barriles community with it's great generosity, Ulises and his family could travel to Tijuana for a second opinion. Due to this generosity Ulises has hope again! The doctor in Tj, Dra. Garrido, an eye specialist from San Diego, has donated her time and expertise to helping out Ulises. Even though Ulises has lost the use of one eye completely, she has ruled out retinoblastoma and has diagnosed Ulises with a congenital condition which currently does not threaten Ulises health or remaining eye. Ulises and his parents now have the peace of mind knowing Ulises has a chance at a long life with his eyesight, in one eye, intact.
I would like to send out special thanks to a few people who were instrumental in this cause. Rene Tilley for putting Ulises and family in touch with the doctors in San Diego. Char Wenger for assisting with the medical communications between the family and the doctors. Wiley Nesbit for his big heart and incredible skill at bringing in the lions share of donations. Marilyn Cunningham for also bringing in multiple donations. Francis Olachea for coordinating the trip for the family. Cheryl Dondlinger for allowing us to use the BPE to reach out to the community when people are in need. And finally to everyone who donated to this cause. Muchas Gracias.

Muchisimas Gracias to International Insurance Services of Cabo and Arandi Torres (Director) for their work following my recent accident near our Hermosa Vista home. The adjuster (Luis) arrived the morning after the accident and Karla Ramirez (Claims Manager) picked up the file the same day and managed it to completion. Luis stayed in town that first day to see that the police released the car (thanks, Dennis) and made sure I read and approved the report before he returned to Cabo. My car was totaled and, beyond the standard deduction, there was no "nickle and diming" to work down the payment! Char sent along medical charges to Fredy Braverman (the agent in the office who handles our vehicles) and we've already received full settlement on that. The accident was January 25th and I'm sure the case would have been settled several weeks ago had I been down here to deliver the car's title to the office before this past week when we arrived back in Los Barriles. After my return to the states (Jan. 27) and before I arrived back here, the office was in near-daily contact with me either via email or phone to make sure I had the necessary backup papers prior to meeting Karla this past week at the office. I signed a couple docs, payment was approved on the spot and money was wired to my CA bank a couple days later. After 20+ years down here with a number of different agencies, and claims from losses in hurricanes, robberies, etc. this was the most professional and timely service we've ever received.

I was recently at the Bay of Los Suenos and filmed these two cute Mexican dogs fishing for a puffer fish. (Don't worry the fish got away eventually once they tired of it.)  I thought it was funny and maybe you might too.  So here is the link to Mexican Dogs Catch a Puffer Fish

THUMBS UP - ANSWERS - DISCUSSIONS- This category must have name & email address.

a.  Corned Beef Discussion
   1.  Isn't that the cut that is used for Arachera (Arrachera)?   
   2. You can get both, uncooked, whole cured beef brisket & ready to eat Corned Beef (Charlie's Pride) from U.S.Foods de Mexico in the warehouse at the airport. I have gotten both & ordered just beef brisket. from them. There is a ad in the Gringo Gazette, phone #-624-146-2221.

b.  Medical Insurance Discussion
     In response to the recent post regarding International Health Insurance, I strongly believe if you are living in or spend the majority of your time in Baja, International Health Insurance is imperative. With my experience in providing assistance for medical services, emergency care and evacuations, the importance of coverage beyond Medicare and the standard supplement is strongly encouraged. Insurance rates vary worldwide and are driven by the cost of healthcare.
     Working with International Insurance Services with CP Fredy Braverman by MT Los Cabos for over 5 years now has proven to be a great experience with known consistency and reliability. Our choice in International Insurance companies through BUPA, Best Doctors, and IMG have direct provider networks here in Baja, throughout Mexico, US and worldwide. The application process, processing of claims and reimbursements is simple.
     If interested please contact me at the numbers listed for further information and quotes
