2008 February « Aria MacDonald

Ok so this blog is about Aria but I thought I would give Asher, her little brother, his own mention today.
We count ourselves blessed, yet again that God has given us such wonderful child. He was such a darling in hospital and is a great kid to have around. Aria loves him which [...]

I thought I best update Aria’s blog!!  We are having a grand time at home and I had forgotten about it a bit.
 She is totally back to her old self and it is wonderful.  She hadn’t been right for awhile now, perhaps it was the sickness, maybe the heat.  But she is smiling and laughing [...]

Yay!
Not much more to say except that we are really pleased to be here.
Aria will be on antibiotics every 8 hours for another week which is a bit of a hassle but much better than every 6 hours and MUCH better than being in hospital.
My lovely friend Corina is making us tea tonight. Yay- super grateful. The bummer [...]

I am so excited to update the blog today!!  I have been thinking of the title all day!!
Yup today is Wiggle Wednesday, Aria is the proud new owner of a new central and tomorrow we can go home.  Yipppppeeeee
And in other great news Mr M was able to put the line back in the same [...]

Ok so we didn’t really expect it to happen today but we are hoping it will tomorrow. Aria is on the acute list for surgery tomorrow.  But it does mean she will get bumped for emergency or more critical cases. 
Today was ok, again we lost another luer and again she had to have a new [...]

Ok so today wasn’t CVL (Central Veinous Line) Monday and it isn’t like it is happening tomorrow either.
Aria’s surgeon is away until tomorrow so it is looking more like Wednesday.  She is ok at the moment so I think we can wait until then.  We really want Mr M to do it cause he knows [...]

What a day
Hamish decided this morning that he needed to go home for a break.  And he did to, he is shattered and drained.  So I began my inner monologue of ‘Anita you CAN and WILL cope in hospital with the kids’
So I arrived in with a grand plan.  Get Aria her antibiotics and put [...]

Aria’s line came out late last night.  Her and Hamish had a pretty good night, it is the calm before the storm.  Her temp is normal as of straight after she came out of surgery, that line obviously needed to go.  So the clock starts ticking - we need 48 hours of no temps and [...]

Aria wasn’t getting better so her line has come out.  Pretty bad news.
The next few days are going to be awful as she suffers with no food until she gets a new one.
Please pray the temps go away quickly and a new line goes in ASAP

Poor Aria, she had a temp again last night!!!  Arggghhhhh
At least she had a better nights sleep
Will we ever get home?
