MATAI
UP-DATES
WE HAVE GONE FROM A HOLE THIS BIG, TO A HOLE THIS BIG.  LOOKS A LOT BETTER DOESN'T IT?????
YOU CAN SEE THE BUCK-SHOT COMING OUT OF THE LITTLE HOLES.
NAPPING ON COUCH NEXT TO DADDY.
IT'S NOT LIKE I DON'T FEEL BAD ENOUGH, BUT MOM HAD TO MAKE ME LOOK LIKE AN EVEN BIGGER IDIOT, BY PAINTING THE DISH AROUND MY HEAD
UPDATE:  WELL WE ARE INTO WEEK 3, AND MATAI IS DOING WELL.  SHE GETS DEPRESSED, BUT I GUESS THAT IS TO BE EXPECTED.  MATAI GETS FRUSTRATED BECAUSE SHE CAN'T EAT.  SHE NEEDS HELP, BUT THAT'S OK, CAUSE SHE'S GOT HER MOMMA!!!  WE ARE PRAYING THAT HER JAW BONE IS HEALING.  IT WILL BE A MIRACLE IF IT HEALS BACK PROPERLY.  IF NOT SHE WILL HAVE TO HAVE MORE SURGERIES.  THE HOLE IN HER NECK IS HEALING FROM THE INSIDE OUT.  IT IS GETTING SMALLER, AND LOOKS GOOD AND PINK.  KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED!!!
7/24 LEGAL UPDATE:  NOT SO GOOD.  WE FINALLY GOT ON THE NEWS TODAY.  OF COURSE THE NEIGHBOR STILL CLAIMS SELF DEFENSE, BUT WE ALL KNOW BETTER.  THE LAWYER I MET WITH WANTS $500 RETAINER.  SO I GUESS I WILL KEEP LOOKING.  PRAY FOR A LAWYER TO COME ALONG.  WE NEED ONE WHO LOVES ANIMALS AND NEEDS TO DO SOME PRO-BONO WORK!!!!  :o)  I WILL TRY TO KEEP LOOKING TILL I FIND ONE.
ALL MY KIDS IN BED, DERRICK MATAI, AND MIYA
THE HOLE IS GETTING SMALLER AND SMALLER
MATAI IS DOING GREAT!!  SHE MAY HAVE TO HAVE SURGERY ON HER JAW TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE.  WE WILL NOT KNOW FOR A FEW MORE WEEKS.  THE HOLE IS ALMOST CLOSED UP.  SHE MAY HAVE TO HAVE IT CUT BACK OPEN TO STRAIGHTEN THE EDGES AND SEW IT BACK SO THAT IT WILL CLOSE COMPLETELY.  WE SHOULD KNOW THIS WEEK.  WE WILL LET YOU KNOW THEN.
TATTER LETTING ME KNOW HOW SHE FEELS ABOUT HAVING HER PICTURE TAKEN
10-2-03  HEY EVERYBODY!!!  LOOK NO MORE HOLE!!!  MATAI HAD SURGERY 2 WEEKS AGO TO REMOVE A DRAINAGE TRACK.  THEY SEWED IT ALL BACK UP AND THE STITCHES CAME OUT FRIDAY.  IT LOOKS GREAT.  THE FUR IS NOW GROWING BACK OVER THE SCAR.  SHE IS WEARING HER SNAZZY NEW COLLAR SENT TO HER BY A DEAR FRIEND.  RED IS HER COLOR!!!  THANKS BRISEDA
HIDE-N-SEEK     GONE WRONG!!!  "SHE CAN'T SEE ME!!!  LOOK I CAN STICK OUT MY TOUNGE AT HER!!!  SHE CAN'T SEE ME THRU THE CAR!?!?"
TATTER LOOKING VERY COY!!!  SHE'S A HOTTIE!!!  LAYING UNDER THE FLOWERS LIKE A DOLL.  (COULDN'T GET HER TO SIT UP PRETTY AND TAKE A PICTURE!!!!)  THIS ONE HAD TO DO!!!  STILL CUTE THOUGH!!!
MIYA WANTS HER PICTURE ON THE WEB TOO.  SHE LOOKS LIKE A STUFFED ANIMAL INSTEAD OF A FURBABY!!!

MATAI IN FRONT OF THE AZELIA'S.  PICTURE PERFECT HUH????
FIRST OF ALL I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND PRAYERS FOR MATAI.  SHE IS DOING WONDERFULLY.  TO LOOK AT HER YOU COULD NEVER IMAGINE WHAT SHE HAD BEEN THROUGH.  SHE STILL MAY NEED ANOTHER SURGERY ON HER JAW, BUT WE ARE TRYING TO AVOID THAT, SO SHE IS STILL EATING SOFT FOODS. SHE CONTINUES TO MEND AND WE WILL TRY TO KEEP EVERYBODY UPDATED.  THANKS AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING.
I HAVE A NEW IDEA FOR RAISING MONEY.  I MAKE HEMP JEWELERY FOR FRIENDS.  SOMEONE SUGGESTED I TRY SELLING THEM ON MATAI'S SITE TO RAISE MONEY.  THEY ARE ALL ONE OF A KINDS.  AS I SELL ONE I WILL REPLACE IT WITH ANOTHER.  IF YOU HAVE SPECIAL REQUEST, I WILL TRY TO DO THEM.  THANKS FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT.
