There need be no excuse for pecan pie. :) It is meant to be devoured; any time, anywhere. ;)

I'm up and excited to see we have 10 moos!

Mornin' Gardenista! Wouldn't that be 10 "oinks" or "snorts"? Dear me, if we ever had to count the "MOOs" on Websleuths, we'd be here for eternity. ;)

Reuters has a little more detail:

A tenth person was rescued on Tuesday from a flooded Thai cave complex where 12 boys and their soccer coach were trapped for more than two weeks, raising hopes all 13 would be out by the end of the day.

A Reuters witness saw two people being carried out of the Tham Luang cave on stretchers. They were the first two to be taken out on Tuesday, the third day of the rescue operation.

Eight of the boys were brought out on stretchers over the first two days - four on Sunday and four on Monday. Officials were not immediately available to comment on who had been brought out.

Those poor officers standing on road in front of Reuters camera, you can tell their feet are killing them. All have given "Their All" to this.

One keeps squatting down as though his back is killing him. ITA, all of them have really stepped up to this!

There are conflicting reports. One says that the parents are all still at a nearby site, and none yet knows which of the young men are out.

The second is that the Wild Boars who are out have been reunited with their loved ones, but only via a glass hospital window. The young men are being quarantined as there are certain illnesses that are easily picked up in caves, and some of them (according to some media sources) have elevated white blood cell counts, which can indicate infection.

They have gotten some rice porridge, so that should be making them feel a but better. It would me. ;)

Edited to add: We've been getting reports on the Wild Boars' names a bit after they come out, so unless they've completely shut the loved ones off in another cave without contact, then of course they are likely at the hospital, waving hi and giving all the guys a "thumb's up".

Yes the BBC link reported the parents of the first ones out may be able to get within 2 metres of the boys and the parents of those out yesterday will be able to see them thru glass. Can't imagine holding those parents back
:mad:

I have to run real fast as I hear the downstairs dogs hinting, not sure how many I will have to walk. Hope when I get back I see another out safely. I have to walk them one at at time at night due to coyotes, so could take a bit. Hold down the fort with hope.

The same source confirmed rumors that the children have been medically sedated, and reviving them fully is why it takes time for them to emerge from the cave entrance.

Holy heck! That sounds so risky. But what do I know; I'm no physician and no cave diver. In fact, if I ever had to go through a cave dive, you'd not only have to sedate me for it, but sedate me afterwards. Coz' I'd come up swingin'. Be afraid. ;) (Just teasing!)
