On our way back. 364 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 4: Is when we got the call from my oldest daughter 365 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,199 Speaker 4: and all she said was Aliah's on fire, Houses on 366 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 4: fire and hung up the phone. So we instantly panicked 367 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 4: and sped home. We were probably like thirty seconds from home. 368 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 4: We pulled up, We ran upstairs to our apartment and 369 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 4: my oldest was just pulling Aleah out of the shower 370 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 4: and she. 371 00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:58,679 Speaker 3: Was completely burnt. 372 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,400 Speaker 4: The whole front torso was burned, the whole back and 373 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 4: she had pieces of like her legs that were burned. 374 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 3: The whole back of her head was completely like singed 375 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 3: and burned. 376 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 4: All the hair was gone, and there was like little 377 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 4: fires throughout our house, and my husband started putting the 378 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 4: fires away, And at that time I worked at the hospital, 379 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 4: so my instant reaction was just to hold her arms 380 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 4: up because I knew if she put her arms down. 381 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 3: Then it was gonna stick together. And so we had 382 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:34,640 Speaker 3: called one in one. 383 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 4: Ironically, there was two other fires going on in our 384 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 4: apartment complex at the same time as ours, due to 385 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 4: different things, and so every time we called the fire department, 386 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,439 Speaker 4: they thought that we were calling for those ones. They 387 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 4: were all ready going off, so they weren't coming to 388 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 4: our house. 389 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 3: And so I ran outside. 390 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,239 Speaker 4: We got one of the firemen and they came to 391 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 4: our house, and they knew they had to get her 392 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 4: to the hospital right then. And the shirt that she 393 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 4: was wearing is one of those sequin ones. Well, when 394 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 4: she leaned over the candle, that pulled the fire, and 395 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 4: so it instantly caught her on fires like she was 396 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 4: engulfed in flames like instantly, and all of those sequins 397 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 4: melted into her chest. And so when she got to 398 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 4: the hospital, they knew that they were that they couldn't 399 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 4: treat her because we lived in Idaho, and so they 400 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,880 Speaker 4: knew they had to life flight her somewhere else, and 401 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 4: so they life flighted her to Utah. And when she 402 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,919 Speaker 4: got to Utah, my husband had flown with her, and 403 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 4: I was pregnant with our last son, and the doctor 404 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 4: called and. 405 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 3: She was like, you me get down here now. 406 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 4: She's not gonna make it, and so I went into 407 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 4: panic mode. 408 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 3: I drove to Utah instantly. 409 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 4: She had coated on the way to Utah, and then 410 00:19:55,960 --> 00:20:00,120 Speaker 4: two more times in Utah, and the first week was 411 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 4: like the hardest week because everything kept going wrong, like 412 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 4: she was coding. 413 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 3: They didn't think she. 414 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,640 Speaker 4: Was going to make it, and so she died and 415 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 4: they would have to bring her back. So she did 416 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 4: that three times, and so they were like, she's not 417 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,719 Speaker 4: going to make it, and so they were having us 418 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 4: like make funeral arrangements, like preparing us, and uh, I 419 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 4: think that that was like the scariest thing in the world. 420 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 4: And then they put her into an induced coma and 421 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 4: then after that they were like, well, she's not going 422 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 4: to be a normal kid if she overcomes this, because 423 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,719 Speaker 4: she was burned on over thirty nine percent of her 424 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,880 Speaker 4: body with third, fourth and fift degree burns. 425 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: But she did a survivor right there, Aliah, do you 426 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: remember any of it? Yes, I mean, at the age 427 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: of eight, I can't even imagine. And then you know, 428 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: you just I mean I'm looking at you and you're definitely, 429 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: like I said, a survivor. And for someone to tell 430 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 1: you as a mom, I now can understand because I 431 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: have a daughter. If someone were to tell me, number one, 432 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: your kid is engulfed in flames and then their heart 433 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 1: is stopping, I mean, I can't even imagine what you 434 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 1: were going through in that moment. So after you find 435 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: out like she's going to be okay, you know she's 436 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: going to survive, what was the next step that they 437 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 1: told you to take? 438 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 4: At first, we still weren't out of the woodworks. So 439 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:34,120 Speaker 4: every week was like a closer step two. Okay, we're 440 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 4: getting a survival rate. So with fifth degree burns, that 441 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,439 Speaker 4: means that the fire has gone down into your muscle 442 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 4: and has now hit like your bones and stuff. So 443 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 4: they removed a lot of her muscle out of her back, 444 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,360 Speaker 4: her arm, her hip, and they said that she want 445 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 4: to walk again, they said she want to ride again. 446 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 4: And we were prepared that, you know, we were going 447 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 4: to have a disabled child. 448 00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 3: And then. 449 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 4: For us it was more like because both my husband 450 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 4: and I were very strong individuals, We've come from very 451 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 4: hard backgrounds, and so we're like, we can't do that. 452 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 3: We can't let her make this like a disability. 453 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 4: And so every time they would come in and want 454 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 4: to do something new, we'd get to try to encourage 455 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 4: her to do make sure that she did it, you know. 456 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 4: But then like so she's had thirteen surgeries so far, 457 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,360 Speaker 4: and so and she's not done. So after the first 458 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:38,199 Speaker 4: couple of weeks, like when we were in the we 459 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 4: were in like what I call the gray area of 460 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 4: either she'll make it or she won't. She had to 461 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 4: keep having autographs done and hemo graphs, and the autographs 462 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 4: are or sorry, the hemographs are when they use like 463 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 4: kadab or skin, and so they would use that to 464 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 4: her tissue back so that we could use or do 465 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 4: the autographs. 466 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 3: And so for her, she had five of. 467 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 4: Those done, and we spent almost three months in the 468 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 4: hospital in Salt Lake, and there we met so many 469 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 4: like the nicest people, Like Utah has some of the 470 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 4: nicest people ever, and. 471 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 3: We've like grew a whole family there in Utah. 472 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 4: But we uh would have to go through through physical 473 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 4: therapy daily, we'd have to go through wound care daily, 474 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:35,239 Speaker 4: She'd have to she kept getting regrafted and then we 475 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 4: finally got to go home after almost three months.

But as an adult, I 577 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 4: guess you have more of an opinion. Whereas kids they're 578 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 4: just like whatever, Like they just go with the flow. 579 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 4: They don't care. 580 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 3: Even with you know, color, kids don't really see color. 581 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 3: They just want friends, you know, whereas adults they a 582 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 3: lot of them see that kind of thing. 583 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 4: And so we've had lots of comments come from adults, 584 00:28:55,560 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 4: or staring or just ignorant things. There's been lots of 585 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 4: times where I've had to hold my tongue because I 586 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 4: least apartment. 587 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 3: So I can't do the things I want to do. 588 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 4: But when it comes to kids, they just look at 589 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 4: her and they're like, dang, you survived that, whereas adults 590 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 4: are like, dang, are what's wrong with her? 591 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 3: Like what happened to her? Why does she look like that? 592 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 4: And that was one of the things that we had 593 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 4: to really instill in her is that she's, you know, 594 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 4: beautiful no matter what. And if somebody bowlies you, you 595 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 4: give them a compliment back, because if they're bowling you, 596 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 4: there's just something wrong with them. 597 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: I love that you say that, because I have to 598 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: take that, you know, like kill them with kindness.
