The H word. - Aria MacDonald

The H word.

Aria had a great night and continues to do well. YAY!

Photobucket

This is her at 11.30 last night! Clearly not sleeping and breaking one of the long list of rules they make you sign when you are admitted! You know, lights out at 10.30, don’t bring inflatable furniture or beer to the ward etc.

Hamish and I were trying to decide last night if, here in Litigation Land, they would let us do IV ABX at home.  Guess they let people do TPN at home so they must.  So we asked and turns out they are fine with it.  So fine you don’t even have to get special permission.  At home, even after doing TPN for months, we have to get observed and signed off by two hospital staff.  So, goes to show you never know.  Anyway it has been also a year since we have done anything with Aria’s line we are keen for a refresher.  But after 3 and a half years I guess it isn’t something you can’t quickly forget.  Thankfully it is a 12 hourly med running over half an hour, totally manageable at home.

If Aria keeps doing well then we should be home by Sunday or Monday!  Although this is the third time home has been mentioned so we aren’t going to get to excited just yet.

  12. Cousins Kathleen and Anita says:

    Lights on or lights off, looks like Aria is full of life. No idea of the time and less idea that Dad wanted to sleep! I wonder what was going through her little mind at the moment the flash lit up the scene. Hey is that Blue Dolly who is lying exhausted on the bed? So dad kept his word that Green Dolly is now strictly a Home Dolly after she was nearly lost forever???

  13. Hamish says:

    Green Dolly was at home getting washed. Green Dolly lives wherever Aria sleeps so she does come into hospital for sleepovers.

  15. Samantha says:

I pray that He continues with the healing that is taking place. God bless you and your family Princess Aria. Please continue to keep us updated on her progress. Thank you :-)
