Amazing story still ongoing-3 found, dad still missing

Searchers intensified their efforts Tuesday to find a man missing for more than a week in a rugged, remote area of the snow-covered Oregon Coast Range as his wife and two young children, rescued just the day before, recovered in a hospital.

Trained dogs, horse patrols and a helicopter with heat-sensing equipment were sent to join other helicopters, snowmobiles and foot patrols Tuesday for 35-year-old James Kim, of San Francisco. Trackers had followed his footprints until dark Monday night.

"They determined that he went over the side of the road into the Big Windy Creek drainage area and that's when the two deputies from Jackson County went over the edge and they are tracking his footprints right now," Josephine County Undersheriff Brian Anderson told KLAS-TV in Las Vegas, Nev., on Tuesday morning.

Searchers also brought out rafts Tuesday morning to check the nearby Rogue River.

Search crews faced challenges, State Police Lt. Gregg Hastings said on CBS' "The Early Show."

"There are some cliffs they may have to go down to get down to the creek. And there's still snow and ice, cold temperature, but they've been out all night and they plan to be out all day. And their hope is to find him today," Hastings said.

Amazing story still ongoing-mom's milk kept them alive in snow

Trapped miles from civilization in a snowbound car, in subfreezing temperatures, Kati Kim had to ensure that her children survived until search parties rescued them.

Nine days later, the helicopters came.

Remarkably, Kim's daughters, 4-year-old Penelope and 7-month-old Sabine, were reported to be in good condition after the ordeal.

The key to this fortunate ending may have been the fact that Kim breast-fed both of them to keep them alive amidst the harsh conditions once no other food was available.

Experts say the episode suggests how mother's milk, in a disastrous pinch, can make the difference in the chances of a child's survival.

"The fact that Kati Kim was able to breast-feed both of her children for the amount of time that they were stranded most likely was lifesaving for them," said Dr. Sheela Geraghty, assistant professor of pediatrics and medical director of the Center for Breastfeeding Medicine, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati.

"Breast milk not only provides the calories needed to sustain life, it also helps prevents dehydration," Geraghty said.

"I'm really, really grateful that the mother had breast milk available for the baby, as well as for her other child," said Judy Hopkinson, assistant professor at the USDA/ARS Children's Nutrition Research Center at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.

"This is a remarkable fluid in many ways. There is nothing better you can give a child in a disaster than breast milk."

"Lucky for these children that mom was breast-feeding," said Kathy McCoy, a lactation consultant at Clarian Health Partners Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis. "No one ever expects disaster to happen, but when it does, breast milk is truly a lifesaver."
