Kai was the most amazing, strong and courageous little boy that we had the honour of bringing into this world along with his
two sisters.
Kai is one of a triplet that my wife amazingly carried for 36 weeks and eventually delivered on the
18th July 2004. 3 Little bundles of joy 
wprocedures and 3 times he beat the odds. He also had a tracheostomy, a punctured lung, 3 cardiac arrests, and of course the
obligatory MRSA.
Above all this, every single day, Kai greeted us with the most amazing beaming and heart melting
smile that affectionately got known as his 'Hippo Smile'.
Through this tragic and unfair loss, we didn't
want the traditional ways in whi
ch to remember Kai, we wanted something different.
We wanted something that everybody could enjoy, something that
would spread his name, something that would be a constant remi
nder and something that would enable us to look after his sisters.
ere born. Tegan, Kai and Summer.
They joined
their big sister, our oldest daughter, Jazmin who was 6 at the time.
The girls were fine but unfortunately Kai needed a little bit of attention for a week and then after
2 weeks we all went home. 3 months in, unfortunately Kai was rushed firstly to Maidstone and then to Guys hospital in London
and straight into PICU (Paediatric 
Intensive Care Unit) where unfortunately he pretty much stayed for the next 8 months and so did we.
We all moved
into the Ronald McDonald house which is attached to the hospital. It is a fantastic place which caters for families who have
children in hospital and it is all free.
We could not have managed to get through the 8 months without the 
help of the house and the staff. Our amazing little boy was suspected of having a condition called Neonatal Marfans Syndrome which we are fairly sure makes him the only triplet in the world to have this incredibly rare condition.
Kai underwent 3 seriously life threatening open heart surgeries resulting in repairs on the valves in his tiny little
heart with the last resulting in him having a tiny mechanical valve inserted to replace his main mitral valve. He was only
given a less than 20% chance of survival during the
S
o we have tried to turn the worst times of our lives in to something positive, hence why we support these charities. We also
had another addition to the family on the 8th October 05 in the form of another beautiful baby girl who we have named Skyy
and we have since added to the start of our female relay team with Baby Callia who was born on the 8th February 2009 :-)
Kai is our inspiration,
our drive, our purpose and above all our Son.
We love you and miss you so much Kai
Mummy and Daddy, Jazmin, Tegan,
Summer, Skyy, Callia xxxx
