Davik Teng's story began in the back country of Cambodia, but the next chapter will take place in Southern California, where surgeons will try to fix the young girl's damaged heart. Press-Telegram reporter Greg Mellen and photographer Jeff Gritchen have just returned from Cambodia with 9-year-old Davik and her mother, Sin Chhon, along with Peter Chhun, an NBC News cameraman, and Chantha Bob, better known as Bobby at work at Sophy's Restaurant in Long Beach, who have been leading the quest to bring her here for care at Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. Watch the PT and this blog for continuing coverage of Davik's progress.

Photographer Jeff Gritchen is the technophile on this trip. He just finished talking to people at the office on his computer with its video camera connection. I guess at first the picture wasn't coming in well. I think he may have started a new Verizon catchphrase, “Can you see me now?”
