It’s gonna be OK. My son was on the vent for a long time. I know how frustrating it is. Every day they would say “Maybe tomorrow” but then they’d do a chest x-ray and his lungs would be full of fluid. It’ll happen. It’s just that she was so compromised and so full of fluid before she went in – it will take more time. My son was the same way – end-stage liver failure, kidney failure, so full of fluid that he couldn’t make a fist with his hands and his lungs filled up. It takes a long time for the lungs to clear. And it takes a tremendous amount of energy to heal the way she’s healing. She’s exhausted. She’ll get there.

Oh I’m glad they tried with the tube out, but it is obviously better for missy with the tube in right now. Lara had pneumonia post transplant and struggled with her breathing so much that we were practically begging them to take her down to PICU for a few days running. The assessment teams were up a couple of times a day to check on her breathing and my heart was in my mouth for days until it cleared up a bit. Much better for Aria to be intubated than for you to go through the stress of watching her struggle to breathe – believe me!

We were so pleased to see Aria back on line again – although we have never met, your family (via the blog) have become part of our lives as we pray with so many others for God’s healing hand upon Aria and grace to deal with the situations that arise (link through Shirley, Francis and Sam). With our love and prayers

I agree with Fiona – if only medical “dramas” could all be sorted out in the space of an hour – not counting the ad breaks! You’re doing so well – just keep hanging in there – love to Aria.

it always makes me laugh when i see bits of the medical programmes like ER etc- how quickly people move on from major procedures- it is SO unrealistic!! it really is one little step at a time. you are doing great – bless you all heaps

Awww.. I know how much you all wanted that tube out, but it’s a blessing to know that at least she is breathing and healing to say the least. There are other children out there, that haven’t been as lucky and haven’t made it as far as Aria has. Keep your spirits up, Anita and Hamish… it won’t be long now.
