Update

Lyon is on Oahu at Kapiolani, which is supposed to be one of the top premie hospitals in the nation. He's in the best possible care and everything here on out is in God's hands. The nurses say he is doing well and has lost some weight, which is normal, and is getting stronger every day. Dad has been with Lyon since he left Kauai and Marie and Ariki will be flying over as soon as they get the doctors ok. We had a scare the other day when Lyon was having some breathing problems and they had to do surgery on his lungs. The surgery was a success and he's breathing better now than he's ever been. He's also opened his eyes and is taking in the sights, and has begun making noises. He'll be flirting with the nurses in no time.

This is undoubtedly going to be a long, tough road ahead. They say Lyon will have to be in the hospital for the next 3+months. Marie will be moving over to Oahu to be with baby and Ariki will be flying back and forth as work permits. Please keep them in your prayers as well as little Lyon.

I'll be trying to update this site as often as I can. Hopefully one of these days the rest of my family will learn how to do the same. Again, thank you for all your prayers...I hope you understand how much we appreciate it.

Here's the latest pictures Grandpa took:
