3 March Update - Another Letter
Tae continues to improve with the stitches under the right eye coming out today and two trips on the wheel chair as well as her first short conversation on the phone. She had written this letter from the previous night, to post on the website. No scanner here in the hospital so will type it for you....
Today was a good day, I am healing incredibly well
and I just got to sip a glass of water!
Now I can drink and eat only jelly ... at the moment ... so no dairy products + hot things so far.
So I stick to juice + jelly .... well, its a start... isn't it?
Im definitely looking forward to next week,
everything will be done by then.
I went out with Dad in the wheelchair for the very first time ...
I'm happy with how people are supporting me,
it's beautiful, and last nite I was thinking of the children back in Tonga...
and they have a right to to good medical treatment...
I really thank God for keeping me real... not suffering from all of this...
I heard a really cool song from "Mary Mary" .. and it states
" I just can't give up now,
I've come to far from where I started from....
Nobody told me the road would be easy...
And I dont believe He's brought me this far
to leave me... "
It's sooo true... pain isn't something to cry about .. even though the road won' t be easy, God will carry you.
My faith has brought me here today and I just can't give up now
So far God works in mysterious ways ... He's answered my prayers .. from (through) the people....everything's what God wanted it to be.
I am so grateful for God's love.
YEAH, so far everythings great ... love, Tae.

Hi Tae,
I have been following your progress through my dear sister Kava. If only the world would have half of your soul, this world would be brighter!! And you're right, Tonga DEFINITELY needs better medical care. I'm working on that!! Hope your day is brighter today!!
'ofa atu, Tepola
