FYI

We got back the autopsy results today from the state coroner, and they were unable to find why our little Mateo died. It had just been called an undertermined death. Just thought I would let everyone know.

Wow, its already been a month. . .



Today was kind of a hard day, but a good day! Today is the 1 month mark of my nephew dying.
It started out with Kalani coming by to spend the day with us, and a Dr appointment for Sai to check up on this new set of tubes. From there we picked up Perry and took him home to SLC. There we went to lunch, where my son was a complete holy terror, and then to Lowes to search for some solar powered tiki torches (which we were so glad to find!!!) and them off to Petsmart, to get some new fish for Sai and Scott. Sai's was two little fish named One Eyes Willie, and Mo (short for Mohawk, curiosity of Kalani). And Scott's were feeder gold fish for his pond!
When we got home, we went as a family to the grave site of my dad and Mateo, and Malia bought some balloons and tied them to one of Mateo's bikes, and Scott and I put the tiki torches on the graves, and Malia wanted us to sing a little song together. It is hard to watch Malia and Jim, and I would do anything to take away their pain, but there is really nothing we can do, but be as supportive as we can.

Sai playin



Just thought I would share this cute little video of Sai. He has been so much fun lately! He is a little parrot, and loves to walk around, FINALLY! Also, I started Weight Watchers last week, and tonight was my second weigh in, and I lost 5.4 lbs! I was pretty excited! Cant wait to loose more!

A lot has gone on...




Well as everyone knows, my nephew died right before Christmas. A little explanation... My sister found him in the morning when she went to wake him up, and he had already passed away. She began CPR and called 911, but was not successful at reviving him. They did a full investigation, and an autopsy. Nothing was found as out of the normal. During the autopsy everything was ruled out, no choking, no brain aneurysm, no heart attack, nothing. So they sent off tissue samples, and blood cultures to see if there was something that was over seen, like a rare disease, or even if any of his blood counts were off. Like the Obituary says we had the funeral on the 23rd. We had Christmas, which turned out to be okay. It was way different to say the least, but it was nice.
That following Monday on the 29th, Sai had surgery. He had his adenoids out and ear tubes put in. And for some strange reason as Sai got better, so did his walking!!! Its been really fun watching him learn more and more and more! He has also developed quite the little attitude. He loves to talk (or so he thinks he is talking) and loves to test every little limit with mom and dad! I swear I don't understand what is so interesting about the stupid toilet, and why playing with toilet water is darn cool!
Scott started school tonight, and will be taking 11 credits with hopes of graduating in the Spring. We are soo excited, for him to graduate, so that will definitely be a celebration!
But all in all, we are doing pretty good and Sai is getting better and better!
