- A planned family reunion turned into a medical emergency when 78-year-old Lilia Avoutova, who arrived in Kunming on March 4, suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and stroke two days later and has been in an induced coma since March 8. Her daughter Elena Lanteigne, speaking from Kunming where the family has been about three weeks, says ICU bills are about $1,000 per day, the quoted air-ambulance to bring her home is roughly $400,000 (a commercial stretcher flight about $108,800 but riskier), and a GoFundMe has raised over $16,000 as they hope she can move to rehab in a month or two so travel becomes safer.
