"What we're covering here

The rescue: 13 international divers and 5 Thai Navy SEALs have entered the cave to start the difficult process of freeing 12 boys and their soccer coach.Long process: The boys will be taken out one by one, in an operation that could "take days," the local governor says.Heavy rain forecast: Rescuers wereforced to act before the arrival of heavy rain.15 days: That's how long it's been since the boys -- aged 11 to 16 years old -- and their 25-year-old coach entered the cave."

"Cave entrance cordoned off

On Saturday night rescue workers began putting up green tarp around the cave entrance in preparation for the rescue mission.

Media teams were asked to clear the area to make way for divers and their equipment. More oxygen tanks were brought in Sunday morning."

Quick recap of the rescue operation:

• The operation began at 10:00am local time
• The rescue mission could take two to four days depending on conditions in the cave
• The first boy is expected to be out of the cave at 9:00pm (local time) at the earliest
• Each of the boys will have two divers to help them make their way out of the cave
• The 12 boys and their soccer coach have been trapped in the cave for 15 days

So they've got an 11hr round trip estimate, and we're now about the point where we might expect the first of our boys to be setting off for home!

Magz, we forgot the one secret weapon who could have solved this entire thing! We should have sent in the amazing, wonderful Mr. Pink.

"CNN's David McKenzie, who is near the cave, took a photo showing heavy sheets of rain falling in the catchment area of the cave system. McKenzie says that it's a "total whiteout" over the mountain and that it's "pouring rain."

The assumption is that it could flow into the cave, potentially hampering rescue efforts."

Good morning from Scotland. Looking forward to these boys getting out and hugging their parents. I hope there is someone for the coach, seeing as he lost his entire family he will need a hug too.

I got the end of ABC Live --
two brave divers each to guide one sweetiepie out...

And I do still think the kids will need a bit of calming meds. They have qualified doctors to decide.

imvo

Calming meds can lower the boys' body temperature and their breathing rate, and impede their decision making ability, especially in young, emaciated bodies. The boys need to be fully alert for every step of the way with no foot slips or head bumps caused by foggy minds. The calming meds should be reserved for the stressed watchers on the outside.

Start chilling the champagne everybody...

Because a miracle is in progress, and YOU are a part of it!

Just Know that during the next ten years, we will be here posting on threads about when each one gets married, and when they have little chillinzes...

The hero rescuers will treat them as their own children, or little brothers.
And they will be invited to their weddings!

Good morning from Scotland. Looking forward to these boys getting out and hugging their parents. I hope there is someone for the coach, seeing as he lost his entire family he will need a hug too.

He has an Uncle and Grandma...

Here's his note he wrote:
The coach: Dear uncle and grandma, I’m fine. Don’t be worried too mich about me and please take care of yourself. Please make me a chili paste with a pork rind and I’ll eat them when I get our. I love you all.

(ETA correct from Auntie and Grandpa and add letter)
