1 May 2008 Update

PIC: Tae & Family, Nili Latu

Unfortunately our Internet connection has been down for over 18 hours so we could not post an update.  Tae is struggling with  the continuing loss of feeling in her legs and pain and general discomfort. She woke up this (Thursday)  morning with new aches again and finding she cannot turn herself over or reposition herself in bed because her legs don't respond anymore. We have had to increase a little more the morphine after the large reduction a week ago. Over the past 2 days she is now sleeping for much longer periods and now having more problems with her stomach. She has hardly kept any food down today and despite a 30 minute patch where we were able to take her for a walk with the wheelchair, Tae has not been well.

Today (Thursday) we had a visit from the Hons. Fanetupouvava'u Tuivakano  &   Salote  Maumautaimi Tuku'ahoa with their Tuilokamana Tuita and Latuotusia. We also had visits from the Tupou Tertiary Institute Staff and many other family members.

Pic: Sela and the Friendly Islands Bookshop brought Board Games for to keep the kids actively distracted & hopefully a little learning as well.

We value your prayers, thoughts and comments.

Hello Darling Tae,

Dad and I are missing you all so much! I'm missing our lovely chats, the delicious food and the beautiful weather. It's freezing over here in Australia!

I'm really sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well as of late. I hate hearing that you're in pain, but be strong and keep on singing and playing your beautiful music. I have played your song to the whole family and they absolutely love it! Mum was crying by the end of it.

Well we are all praying for you and thinking about how you are doing everyday. I wish I could fly over right and see you!
Walk On, Walk Strong!

Lots of love to you and your family!

Tae,

I can only imagine what you have been going through. I did not know about your history, i am both shocked by what you have been going through and amazed by your strength, faith and determination. I only wish i could help, i don´t really know how!!! It´s amazing the strenght you have, but at the same time i cannot help to ask myself why you, an innocent young girl?
With all my love and faith
maria
