Dear Awi Akisi

Recently a friend's daughter had a son and named him Tristin Levi.  Even though the hospital who delivered him failed to follow protocol and sent him home knowing he would die without treatment.  His mother was smart enough at only 16 to take him to another hospital, once there within less than 24 hours they transfered him to a better equipped hospital to be fully evaluated by a pediactric's specialist. His chances as of last night was only 20percent.  This morning the new test show that his brain bleed has stopped, his three fracture to the head are well aligned, although still having a high bilirubin level, his liver is functioning well to empty all the poisons from his tiny body. As of now he has a 100 percent chance of survival and they are fairly sure he has no significant damage.

We have nicknamed him turtle, since the enlarged head with a tiny body make him appear to be a turtle without a shell.  His father is a kickboxer named Jason and his mother's name is Ashley Nicole. My request is to give this little fighter a Cherokee name befitting his stronge will. Whether you choose to just translate his name, nickname, or feel compelled to translate what you feel, I will greatly appreciate and respect your answer.  I appologize if this is an inappropriate request.  Thank you so much for taking the time to read my message to you.
