2 nights ago I had my first dream of Leif. He was reaching down his hand to me from the sky and smiling.

Leif's condition remains unchanged but Dr. Zheng Li, head of the Shanghai Human Sperm Bank, is flying in to retrieve sperm from Leif's body. This was arranged through the kind generosity of Dr. Phillip Li the world's expert in sperm retrieval in NYC. Who knows, perhaps Leiflets. MOM

Hey, I think I took that 2nd photo and it was a day that I was in such pain I could barely walk. I had come to Beijing in a wheelchair. I think Leif and Moon were having a serious discussion about how to put up with me while we very slowly walked around. The day ended with rain and a bus ride back. ...

Things remain the same. Leif is on life support without any return of brain function or spinal cord function. His beautiful young body is wasting away. Lance is in Beijing with Moon and they are working hard on the investigation into the crimes around his death.

Ian - Our memories are now his life. Thanks for posting. He made such a wonderful difference in all our lives. I'm just beginning to sort through photos, I couldn't face it before. Love, Renee
Leif, Lars, Ian and Lance in Victoria at BC

Hi Phil, Thanks for your sharing and your friendship with Leif. He and I were camping at Cascara Campground when he got the call about your injury. We sat up all night at the campfire and talked and cried and shared about you and his love for you. In the morning when he could get someone to cover fo...

Good morning all from Beijing – 6/1/11 8:30 am, 5/31/11 5:36pmPDT Leif remains without any nervous system function. He is unable to control his temperature. The doctors have managed to get his Na down to 155, but his platelets are again down to 41,000 and his WBC remains elevated at 25,000 with 85% ...

Hello to all and thanks for all your prayers. I spent a couple of hours with Lief and his doctors this morning. His WBC and T were elevated and they felt he had an infection, most likely urinary. He is being started on Vancomycin as well as the Amlopodine he has been on to control his atrial fibrila...
