2007 November « Aria MacDonald

So, if you don’t buy the Womans Day you might want to on Monday.
Aria’s story will be featured including some lovely pictures they took of us.  We are excited about this, it is an amazing opportunity to spread the word on our cause to take Aria to transplant and raise the funds to do this.

We get this question a lot.  Which is fine because it is a perfectly reasonable question to ask.
 The answer:  We don’t know.
We don’t know because we are waiting on some results for some kidney tests we had done in October I think.  For one reason or another they have been delayed but hopefully we should [...]

Yesterday we went to the meeting of the Papakura Lioness Club.  They presented us with a cheque of $6,500!!  This was the proceeds from the very successful trivia night held a month or so ago.  A huge amount of work went into the evening and the result was huge!
From that night Aria’s story tugged on [...]

We got home yesterday arvo!  So great to be home!  Turns out it was a urine infection which is slightly strange but much better than a line infection.
This week was to be a busy week for me and Miss Aria.  Lots of friends and tasks to complete before Baby Number 2 turns up.  It is [...]

Good news! Aria is much better and her temp has been normal for about 24 hours. She is back to her regular self which makes keeping her in a hospital room fairly tricky. She points to the door and then to her pram and there is no doubt as to what she [...]

…and welcome to 26B. Darn it. In case you missed yesterdays post Miss Aria is not well and we are back at Starship. Not sure what is wrong.
I bravely told the ED Reg to tell the Gastro Consultant it was a gut infection rather than a line infection and what antibiotics [...]

There had be an air of excitement in the MacDonald Camp these past weeks! Aria was happy and healthy and there is a new baby to look forward to.
Yes I did say Aria was healthy. She is pretty sick again and we are off to Starship ED in about half an hour. [...]

The MacDonald family have been busy bees over the past couple of days. 
We celebrated Aria’s cousins Tivoli and Venesio’s 5th and 1st birthday on Sunday.  It was held at the Manukau Live Steamers.  There are little mini trains you sit on and they take you around the park.  Aria had a great time and loved going [...]

The other day Aria was with Anita at a coffee morning with her girlfriends, and one of her friends has two boys, one older and one younger than Aria. Aria decided that these two boys needed kisses. The older boy may be in the ‘oooh yucky girl’ phase because he headed for the hills, the [...]

Yes our house does look like a hospital at times.  We have a pole that hangs Aria’s bag of TPN (her wiggle juice) and her pump.  Photo is HERE
We first brought Aria home for the night when she was 8 weeks old.  The hospital wanted us to have a trial run for the night, not [...]
