Right guys. I have to go to a family do today, they live in the middle of nowhere with crap internet and patchy phone reception and I won’t be able to keep up. Please would someone drop me a PM as soon as the first one is out!!!!

Wow -- they really don't want it to be posted anywhere else, do they!
This is the best I could come up with --
Is this the one you mean?

LOL. No, the other one. Showing chamber 3.

ETA: After this paragraph "Round-the-clock efforts to pump water out of the cave appear to have paid off with conditions said to be walkable in some parts of the 1.7km passageway between the third chamber and the ledge where the team were found sheltering on 2 July."

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.

I was refering to something I mentioned in this earlier post:

Not sure which reports are acurate, but if this is a rush, and considered an emergency, I think they just might give the boys a type of sedative, so that they remain fully alert, but keep from panicking.
When I had surgery to remove hardware from by shin bone-graft, I didn't want to be put under full anesthesia, so they did a lower body, I guess like an epidural.
Whatever they added to the IV was fabulous - I was fully alert, but not stressed or worried at all. Even when they were drilling screws out of bone and cauterizing bleeds, and I could smell the flesh burning...
I was totally fine with all of it.
I wish I knew just what that stuff was. :)
I wasn't euphoric, nor sluggish or anything; I was otherwise normal - but just wasn't worried.
I wouldn't be surprised if they did administer something like this for the boys.
In fact, I think I would be surprised if they didn't.

jmo

You obviously know more about meds than I (and I don't mean for that to be snarky, b/c I'm sure you do!); however, with this particular one, I wasn't impaired at all. I was sharp, fully alert, and other than the obvious lower, I was not physically impaired or sluggish. Coulda played darts from bed and hit the bullseye.
Maybe my temp was lower, idk. Probably.
I just think the boys will be given something.
That's just what I think.

ETA -- I saw the post and realized it sounded snarky when I really didn't mean for it to! Sorry!

I worry that the recent info of the water being at a very low level, might not be accurate anymore. The rains may have changed the water level to create a more difficult exit.

I do SO hope that everyone takes the family's lead on the coach. If THEY don't hold him responsible and THEY feel he is a hero, that should be enough.

It is their children who's lives have been hanging in the balance. If they don't blame him, neither should the legal system. I think he's been punished enough.

This is one of those natural consequences.... just like the next person who decides to go in this cave during monsoon season will be natural selection.

I agree with you 100%!
And I don't think they can, since he didn't do anything wrong.

Oh that's good to know!

Oops! I was wrong, he has an Uncle and Grandma, (not an Auntie and Grandpa)❤️ :)
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.

( :( )

Yes. Thank you. I'd ask how you managed but I'm too sleepy to understand.

lol ... OK - great -- but now that we know which one -- how do we find out if it's accurate or not? (well... crap especially now with the rain...) *sigh*
Things just change too fast...

It will be fake, remember earliest exit is still 2 hours away.

Maybe they mean out of the dangerous areas ?

Gah I hate not knowing the language, FB translation is not nearly as good as you’d hope.

I do think there's a good chance the first group could be back
and on their way to hospital before the guesstimated time-
Based on how much earlier the British Divers were seen yesterday.
It would make sense that they were staggering the departure time
for each diver team. Here's hoping they're earlier.

Do we know if any reporters are hiding out and watching the hospital?
Hope we get more than just 'rumors' when they arrive.

From the Guardian live update feed -

The boys are expected to now be swimming throughout the passageways in tandem with the cave divers.
