On the Sunday after Thanksgiving we got a phone call that broke our hearts. Bobby's little sister, Amanda, had passed away at the age of 23. We don't know much about the situation other than she had been sick for a while and went to the hospital Saturday night around midnight. They admitted her, diagnosed her with Swine Flu, and then released her at 9 Sunday morning. Prelimenary findings are that she died in her sleep from complications due to the H1N1 virus around 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Yesterday, we had the services for Amanda. It has been a long, tiredsome week and we appreciate all the food, cards, phone calls, thoughts, and prayers from everyone. We are still waiting on the toxicology report so that official cause of death can be determined.
The above picture is the last known picture we have of Amanda. It was taken on May 2nd and is Bobby's family: Karen, Amanda holding Aylin, and Robert Sr.
Aylin got her 1st booboo. I think she scraped the skin off her little toe on the water plug in her baby bath. All I know is I got her out of the tub and she had blood dripping off her foot and it bled for at least 5 minutes if not longer. I ended up wrapping it in gauze until I thought it had quit and then put some neosporin and a little bandaid on it.
Okay look at this face :) Every morning she wakes up just talking away. When we go up the stairs we play peek-a-boo and she makes this face when she first sees you and just laughs her little head off. It melts my heart!!
