Monday Meetings - Aria MacDonald

Monday Meetings

But firstly – Good News!  Aria Bili number is 292!!!!  YAYAYAYAYAYAY

It is continuing to drop and is down almost 100 points from it’s all time high of 380.  This is great news.

In less than an hour we are off to see George Hawkins who is our local MP for Manurewa.  I contacted his office a week ago and we are grateful that he has agreed to meet us as such short notice.  I will update later to let you all know how the meeting went.

UPDATE

Hamish and I had a really positive meeting with Mr Hawkins this morning.  Very interesting to meet him and get his advice.  He was very supportive and asked us good questions about our situation and was concerned with the details of our travelling with Aria.  He really seemed to ‘get’ our situation and expressed his sympathy and understanding of the tough spot we find ourselves in with Aria.  He said he would do his best to get a meeting with Tony Ryall if he is in the country.  He also offered to contact the US ambassasor for us should we have trouble getting visas as this late stage.  Finally he gave us his confidental mobile number should we need anything more.  So we are really pleased, thanks for your prayers.

Hamish is home and has left Aria with Poppa at hospital.  Aria has been very attached to Daddy lately so we were both nervous about the drama of him leaving.  But she was completely fine and waved nicely to Daddy.  Phew!  And hopefully Hamish and I will be able to spend some time together after the meeting.  Asher is at Kerriannes today in Beachland with his little mates.

Thanks for your prayers and support.  Honestly every single comment, text, email, facebook messages boosts our spirits.  Sorry if we can’t always reply but it doesn’t go overlooked that’s for sure.

Thank you!

    hey guys

    glad things are productive. I’ve always had alot of time for George Hawkins, i’ve in my experience when i lived in manurewa found him to be a very compassionate and hard working MP and was always present at highschool functions, so when he says he’ll do this i believe he will, he appears from my experience as a man with alot of intergrity and he’s held the seat of manurewa for an incredibly long time so he’s obviously doing something right.

    Awesome hope it’s a step in the right direction
