2007 July « Aria MacDonald

We have had a nice few days at home. Aria is changing and growing and this homecoming has been quite different to the rest. She seems to be remembering things and people over longer periods of time. The cat got a warm reception although I don’t think the feeling was shared by [...]

Yup we made it home tonight.  Unfortunately Hamish and I are turning into rebels.  Well not really but they wanted Aria to stay another night for observation.  We declined the offer of another night at Hotel Starship and checked out tonight.
Aria has been well for 5 days now and we didn’t see the difference between observing [...]

Hey there,
Just thought I would update everyone on how things are going on the hospital front. Aria has been at a normal temperature since about Friday and her losses are slowly coming down. This is all great news, and they are stopping antibiotics today.
What this means for us is that we are going to start [...]

Aria’s symptoms continued to get worse today and we decided to take preemptive action and get [...]

Miss Aria is not herself this past day.  Yesterday she was grizzly all day which is very unlike her.  I ended up taking her for a big walk in the pram for a couple of hours which she seemed to enjoy, until we stopped moving and then she would let me know.
When Aria is sick [...]

We had an interview with the very nice Robert Rakete which aired today. Very exciting for us and that was just getting to meet him Anyway thanks to all The Breeze listeners that are visiting us this morning.
