Back into the fire

Sunday, October 26th, 2008

We are home and straight back into life.  Yup, you guess it…..
Aria is back in hospital
So I am quickly dumping my suitcases (just got home from Australia attending my Nana’s funeral) and gathering up a bunch of stuff for Hamish and Aria and heading into Starship.
There really aren’t words right now, I am so very very [...]

Just the two of us

Friday, October 24th, 2008

Well we are over half way through Dad and Aria time.
Aria has been really good over the last few days. She has been very co-operative and happy, she sometimes asks for Mama and Ash and is trying really hard to understand what is going on.
I tell her that Mum and Asher are visiting Nana Rose in [...]

YAY Rebecca!!!

Monday, October 20th, 2008

Aria, Asher and I had the privilege of attending Rebecca’sfinal weigh in this morning.  Rebecca had been shedding the kilos and in return gathering up a huge number of generous and kind sponsors to contribute to Aria’s fundraising.  30kgs in 26 weeks with over $12,000 of sponsorship at stake.
Today she hit the big 30 kgs on [...]

Aria’s Great Grandmother

Saturday, October 18th, 2008

Aria’s great Grandmother passed away on Wednesday evening.  Aria’s full name is Aria Evelyn Pearl MacDonald.  We choose her two middle names to remember her maternal great grandmothers, both of which are now in Glory, both of which were great servants of God.
It is a sad thing that neither Aria or Asher got to meet my nana, she [...]

Aria is doing well

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

Seems as though it has been a whole week since the last update!  Time flys right?
Aria is doing really well.  She is so proud of her walking and ‘no hands standing’.  She likes to try to stand up without holding on to anything and she is so so proud of herself!  Aria is saying lots [...]

ARIA TOOK HER FIRST STEPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was last night and she was up late, really late.  Her bedtime is normally 6.30-7pm ish, just after Daddy finishes wiggle juice.  Except last night the bag of TPN burst and we didn’t have a spare.  Panic stations!  Not really, we just rang our excellent TPN company (wiggle [...]

Waiheke wonders

Monday, September 29th, 2008

We are back from a most wonderful weekend on Waiheke Island!!  YAY.  Lots to say but we had a nice relaxing time and met some new friends.  Aria had a great time too and it really helped her being around new people and new experiences.  Lots of new words and confidence.
For Hamish and I it [...]

No rest for the….

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

…wicked.   I am not sure we are wicked but weary perhaps.  Definitely weary and sick.  Hamish, myself and now Asher are sick.  The most healthy person in the house is Aria!!  Poor Ashie has an ear and throat infection so we whisked him off to the Docs for some ABX.
Some of you will know Matisse.   [...]

Recovery Time

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

I am wondering if this is going to come off as a ‘poor me’ post.   Or maybe like an invitation to my Pity Party with me being the guest of honour.
Two weeks on and Aria is doing well.  She has a bit of a cold right now but other than that she is doing pretty [...]
