The Thai football teammates stranded more than a week in a partly flooded cave said they were healthy on a video released Wednesday, as heavy rains forecast for later this week could complicate plans to safely extract them.

The 12 boys and their coach are seen sitting with Thai navy SEALs in the dark cave with their visibly skinny faces illuminated by the beam of a flashlight. The boys, many wrapped in foil warming blankets, take turns introducing themselves, folding their hands together in a traditional greeting and saying their names and that they are healthy.

The video lasting about a minute was recorded sometime Tuesday and was posted on the navy SEAL Facebook page Wednesday morning.

The boys, aged 11-16, and their 25-year-old coach disappeared after they went exploring in the Tham Luang Nang Non cave in northern Chiang Rai province after a football game June 23. The teammates, who were trapped inside when heavy rains flooded the cave, were found by rescue divers late Monday night during a desperate search that drew assistance from experts around the globe.

Authorities said the boys, who had also been shown Tuesday in a video shot by the British diver who discovered them, were being looked after by seven members of the Thai navy SEALs, including medics, who were staying with them inside the cave. They were mostly in stable condition and have received high-protein drinks.

In both of the videos the boys have appeared in good spirits.

SEAL commander Rear Adm. Arpakorn Yookongkaew said there was no rush to bring the group out of the cave, since they’re safe where they are. The current flooding situation means the boys would have to dive, which rescue experts have said could be extremely dangerous.

While efforts to pump out floodwaters are continuing, some Thai officials have indicated that heavy rains forecast for this weekend could force them to decide the boys should swim and dive out using the same complicated route through which their rescuers entered.

Living 94 years, that too in the 21st century, is something which has lately become very rare. The ones who achieve this feat deserve a “hats off” for being healthy enough to have done so. However, 94 years is a lot to live and people have a unique bad characteristic of becoming lonely very soon. Imagine if a 94-year-old man who spent majority of his life with his wife, loses her all of a sudden. Anybody would be lonely in such a situation and for a 94-year-old man, it must be too much to handle. Apart from imaginations though, such a thing just happened in the real life. In April 2016, this 94-year-old man lost his wife “Evy Davison” who lost in the battle against cancer. He just couldn’t bear the silence which widespread in the whole house. In other words, it was a difficult situation for him to be in. Intelligently, he figured out that feeling depressed about the inevitable wasn’t going to help him and he surely needs to do something to eradicate silence from his house. What he did then is something unthinkable. The retired judge decided to make a backyard pool for the neighborhood kids to play in. It just took a small amount of time for him to execute the plan and it was ready.

The backyard pool which Keith Davison made for the neighborhood kids to play in, measures 16ft by 32ft. He loves children and claims that they remind him of his childhood and makes him feel happy. The silence in the house which catalysed the loneliness in him was eradicated completely by the neighborhood kids who love to visit his backyard pool. He knew that this plan will workout as there were many kids near his house but never visited him. After he unveiled the brilliantly constructed backyard pool, all the neighborhood kids couldn’t wait to have their bodies submerged in the water.

94-year-old man “Keith Davison” has three adult children but no grandchildren. He already missed seeing kids playing and even more after the death of his wife, Evy Davison. The backyard pool was a master plan which kind of made him adopt all of the neighborhood kids. The backyard pool never used to remain free due to its immense popularity. However, whenever it’s free and empty, Keith Davison also enjoys a quiet swim.

After constructing the backyard pool, his house in Morris, Minnesota was never silent again and he never felt lonely. This idea turned out to be beneficial for both the 94-year-old man and the neighborhood kids.

The death of Keith Davison’s wife made him feel lonely at the age of 96. He couldn’t bear the silence which manifested loneliness in his heart.
