Bad News....


i received this email from friendly house....



Mol was involved in an accident on New Year's Day in her village, almost two weeks ago. I have not written until now, as information has been sketchy, contradictory, and unreliable. At this time, it appears she is recovering. The nature of her condition and prognosis are still unknown from direct contact.

An American friend who has lived here for 4 years told me that there will be five fantastic stories before you learn the true facts. Indeed. She has been reported to have suffered severe head injuries, blinded, massive internal injuries, broken back, and a 20% chance to live. Then, there is a report that she went to temple where she met a healer and is better now!

The hardest part for me is the lack of concern or responsiveness to seeing her, attending to her or her family - what? Someone came to tell Veasna she had been taken to a hospital here, but did not say which one (nor was he asked!). I asked for a search, but nothing. We finally went to a clinic a week later, and reportedly she had been brought there, but taken to a hospital. Then, she was sent to hospital in PP. And so on.

The accident involved a truckload of revelers going to Kulen Mountain, and on the way back, the driver, probably drunk, took a curve too fast and rolled the truck. First report was that 3 boys (her brothers?) had died; later that one had, maybe her neighbor.



hopefully,this is one of those "fantastic stories"
please meditate, chant, pray or do whatever you do for her!
update as it comes available
