As some of you may have heard, Andres Velasco's two year old daughter, Ema,
fell into a swimming pool two days ago and and entered a coma.

She was reported stable but in critical condition. The incident is being
followed closely by the Chilean media (Andres and Consuelo are national
stars), especially La Tercera, http://www.latercera.com. A report in
Spanish, at http://www.latercera.com/contenido/680_102594_9.shtml,
apparently suggests that Ema's condition is not life threatening, and that
the family is waiting and hoping there will be no permanent damage.
The latest in English:

 sounds encouraging.
