Son Of God

Yes I did have a son, he was born on June 28 at around 1pm (it's all still kind of fuzzy) he was in the NICU for 12 days which was about 11.5 days to long. I still don't really understand why he was in there so long. Originally they wanted to run some cultures to make sure he didn't pick up any bugs on the way out. So that was supposed to take about 72 hours. He continued to have some breathing "episodes" (by episode I mean he stopped breathing for 10-15 seconds, hardly an episode) so they kept him in the NICU. Finally after the holiday the decided to do a sleep apnea test on him. He passed with no problem...and finally they let him out.

Would you like to know his name?
Maika Pu'u U'la Ahi K. Dittmar
still can't remember his middle name fully it's kamakala or something close to that

He has been home for about 6 days now and is doing great

Here is a few pictures with many more to come over the next few weeks

My goal is to post every day in an attempt to make this a habit

Bang!

I'm not sure how my wife and I did not hear a car slamming into both of ours, but we didn't.

The honda was pushed into the truck

Hey dad somebody hit mommys car

Daddy mommys car died

They hit the cars so hard that is ended up on the side walk and pushed doem the street about three yards

Getting *&*^* from both ends

There is a good reason why I have not posted in a month and a half. I have not done anything since graduation except work and hang out with the family. I decided that I would not start posting again until about a week before I started school, but something happened that I felt was post worthy. We had both of our cars parked on the street in front of our house late on monday night. We watched some movies and went to bed. The next moring the cops were knocking on the door. They asked us what happened to our cars. We of course had no clue that anything had happened during the night. We slowly realized what had happened, somebody hit us late in the night. They slammed into the honda and pushed into the truck and pushed both cars about nine feet donw the street. Then they left the scene bafore they could get caught. The Honda is totalled and thetruck needs some front end work. The worst thing about this is that we had a $1000 deductable for each car so it is going to cost us 2K

The honda before its death RIP 2002-2007

The truck before is was brutally beatin

We hope to fill the void with this

Broken: This is Ava

I went to school yesterday early in the morning so that I could study all day for my A&P lab final. I did pretty good on it, at least I think... When I got home the plan was to study for the three finals that I had today. Of course that didn't happen, my wife wanted to go check out some stuff at Home Depot so we headed over there. 3 hours later we were on our way home with a truck full of stuff for our new place. While we were unloading the truck Ava screamed super loud, normally she is just being dramatic but this time she was screaming for a reason. My little girl broke her arm. We rushed her to the E.R. as fast we could.

They were great to Ava and even though she was in pain they did a great job. I know she is my daughter but personally I think Ava took the pain and shock better then anybody I have ever seen.

She is a little grumpy today but perfectly understandable. We were up all night so my three finals were a little rough to get through. The good news is that I only have one more final to go and then graduation!!

My Grade has been Stolen: Reward if Found

Four Weeks until I graduate from CSUSB with a BS in Chemistry. I have not been very excited until the last week about graduating, but after this round of midterms I realized that I only have a few short papers to write and Finals. After Four years of school I am almost there. My undergrad was hard at times but hopefully it prepared me for pharmacy school.

Currently I am in class and not very happy. I just found out that I lost 10% on my A&P midterm because I forgot to put a 1 in the box that said grade level. This is standard practice for all tests that uses this scan-tron and I have been doing it for the last four years. For some reason I did not fill in the 1 before I turned it in, I have never forgot this little procedure before. So 10% is gone with no chance of return because of a mental lapse that I had. I do not think that 10% is fair at all I can see taking 1 or 2 questions worth of points which would be about 1-2% on this test but 10% is crazy. This test was 125 questions, so that means 12 of the questions I got right have been voided. I estimated about 25 hours of studying for this test or 12 minutes per question so that means 2.3 hours of my study time was wasted. That might not seem like a lot but I work 35-40 hours a week and I have a 2 year old along with 15 units this quarter. So 2.3 hours is at times hard to find and for it to be wasted is not fun. I thought test were supposed to reflect your knowledge of the subject however my grade does not reflect my knowledge at all. There should be an asterisk or something to say that I actually scored better then my score shows.
