Yay- I like these posts
Yay I like writing good news posts
Proverbs 25:25 (New International Version)
25 Like cold water to a weary soul
is good news from a distant land.
We got word today that our accommodation funding has been approved from our local DHB. We are so happy. We have signed the lease for our new place on Monday so we are very pleased to get word. We move on the 14th of April into our new condo.
I can’t remember what I have shared about this place. But is it perfect in many many ways. First up the price is only $3 more a night than what the Govt is paying for our room at the Lied (which is cheap hospital/hotel rates). The price includes all utilities including broadband and phone. Yay for not having the hassle of setting all that stuff up! It is also fully furnished including linen, pots, pans plates etc etc. Washer and dryer. Yay for not having the hassle of buying stuff and spending Trust money or having to sell again. Lots of space 1700 square feet. Very safe with gated entry and access code to get into the building
It is a really beautiful place, new and nice. Perfect and we are so so thankful. The only downside is it that is 20 mins from the hospital and not close to Bellevue where Carol and Cordell are. But we do have two lovely families close by who we know well- yay for friends! And also another hospital family in the complex too.
We may have to get a few things and will buy Aria a new bed and mattress but all and all I think it is a big money saver for us and the DHB.
So praise the Lord, this is truly an unexpected answer to prayer.
Aria did 3 90 mins sprints on the vent today and did well all three times. Unless they are messing with her and she holds her breath- funny girl.
Unfortunately this post can’t all be sunshine and roses. She is battling cellulitis and it isn’t clearing after 2 days of ABX so the fever and high heart rate continue. There was talk of the OR again by the Infectious Diseases team but transplant said no. There was some misunderstanding about the course of treatment today so we are hoping tomorrow things will be clearer.
Please pray that the bacteria in her body will be killed and this hole in her bowel will close up.
But yay for answered prayer!

Yay for positives!! So thrilled for you guys with the accomodation… A ‘condo’ sounds flash!!! (so the Dora bed is possible?! Too cute!)
Hope tomorrow is a much brighter day for Aria, she is making excellent progress with the sprints, here’s to that infection being promptly beaten.

So happy to hear the great news on the condo. The Lord does provide in his own time and pray the problems with Aria will be the same good news soon.
You are such a special family to handle all this so well.

So happy for you! 20 minutes isn’t far away over this side of the world. The apartment sounds just what your family needs.And remember — spring is on the way! Love to Aria.
Hugs for you all

We are at peace with you living a bit away from Bellevue. Thankfully with the interstates, we can be just a short trip away and the accomodations seem to be perfect. And you can always bop over to our house for a “road trip”. (:
Praying for hole repair!!

Just drove by your cute little apartment complex Wednesday evening and thought of you guys! You’ll love it! There’s even a Chipotle across the street (Have you tried that yet? Mexican burritos… they’re huge. It’s Brad’s favorite.) There’s also a TCBY (frozen yogurt… yummy and healthy)!
Praying for Aria.

Great news all around! Continuing to pray for Aria to get rid of that bug and get off the vent. Sending God’s love your way.
In His love,

Yay!!!!! Such good news! Is the condo in Omaha….or outskirts? Will continue to pray for improvements with Aria!
Love you…..

Great news about Aria doing so well on the sprints – a great step forward. I’m sure the docs will resolve the cellulitis problem so Aria can make more steps forward too.
Having a ‘home’ is going to be great for you. It will help you feel much more settled and life will feel less in limbo. A good chance to meet other families and neighbours for when you are all living there too. Great that the furnishing side is all taken care of and you can just add your own personal touches to make it yours. Take care.

hey guys
awesome news about the house and a move.. i was just thinking though is living 20 minutes away from the hospital any different to living in manurewa and having to go to starship?? i’m sure it took me that long to auckland hospital from mum’s in manurewa on a good run.. but i digress..
will keep lifting up aria in our prayers and she’s still on the 24 hour prayer chain for the hole in her bowel to be fixed the woman who runs that chain said to me we’re going to leave her on till we hear the answer to prayer we all desire…

That’s wonderful about your new place! It just so happens, you’re moving on my birthday.
I hope it will be a smooth move! I pray that Aria will continue to get better! I know it has been a long battle for your whole family! God Bless!

Did you know that cellulite is a challenge for the majority of women? Most of us get it at some point in our life. How dismal is that?
