Well - it's been almost a year since our last update ... alot has taken place since then. First off the Mei-Rose update. She has been clear of all lesions and we anticipate the removal of her port. She is still visiting the P.A.U. unit at Kapiolani Medical Center where they are monitoring her. Thank you for all your prayers and support the last few years. It has been and continues to be rather "exciting".

In other news - our children saw the passing of another grandfather this past May. Kauokalani's father passed away on Maui. We were fortunate to meet up with family members and friends from Maui and the mainland who attended the funeral.

We wanted to also announce that our family has a tie-breaking vote!!! This past Saturday evening, Samantha gave birth to our 7th child - a boy! Thesz Kealiikukahaoa Mokuahi Moikeha came into the world in record time! We arrived at Queen's Medical Center at 7:15 p.m. - was admitted at 7:22 p.m. and in our arms at 7:27 p.m.. Samantha and the baby came through pretty well. His picture is available online at www.queens.org and click on the "See our Baby Pictures" block on the right hand column. It should still be there until November. Anyway - ahui hou.
