Things are better…. - Aria MacDonald

Things are better….

Phew, ok lets breathe.

Today things are better, things are turning around.  Her breathing status is better and they are even talking about extubating tomorrow if things go well overnight.

Talk about a rollarcoaster.  One day it feels like the sky is falling in and the next the sun is shining a bit brighter.  Partly because we just grab on to the good days and are keen to escape the feelings of yesterday.

Ok, it is going to be short and sweet because we are tired still.  But we did want to let you all know she is improving.

Thank you for your comments and prayers.  Aria’s condition is still delicate and long term things are unclear, please keep lifting her up and THANK YOU that you do.

    oh my,
    Anita and Hamish – it is just one foot in front of the other isn’t it – this journey is rugged, far too frequently uphill, many times there is no sight of what’s up ahead – and yet with our God, you both set your face to the path and future and stand your ground – hang in there, stay the course, you will move forward. We care and we pray ….. darling wee Aria – what a wonderful, courageous wee poppet.
