News « Aria MacDonald

This weekend was a busy one.  Three Christmas parties!  And our night out for our anniversary and Hamish preached on Sunday too.
We went to Fisher and Pakyel kids christmas party.  They still do those big old school 80s style parties with lots of rides, presents for the kids, eats and lots of cool things to [...]

For weeks now Aria has been waking at 5am and yelling to get up.  Typical 2 year old behaviour or something amiss? 
This week Staph was cultured on the outside skin around her central line.  Aria and I went into Starship on Tuesday arvo for a wiggle dressing change.  Our nurse specialists, both of them, put [...]

……that I of all people shouldn’t be complaining about having to clean up Asher’s rather liquid bottom end out goings.  I mean I should be grateful as it is a sign things are working, or in this case not working but hopefully only for a short time. 
It has been a week since he first got [...]

Just when we thought we had seen the end of this nasty virus Asher woke up this morning will still more D & V !!!  He had been fine for almost three days so we feel for the little guy.  He seems to handle it pretty well although he was a bit of a cuddle [...]

We are all recovering from rotavirus which spread thru our house.  Everyone got sick except for Aria, hopefully now that everyone is on the up and up the virus is gone and has missed her.
Hamish, Asher and  Alexandra got it the worst.  Both Alex and Hamish have had time off work and all three have [...]

The dreaded D&V virus is spreading thru our house like wildfire.  It started with Asher on Sunday, briefly touched me and now has settled with Hamish and Aunty.  We also have two family members staying with us and I am praying it doesn’t get them.  Also praying hard it doesn’t get Aria.  That would be [...]

I honestly can’t believe I am typing this!!  We are trying to get Aria sick!!  I know, madness!!!   Aria’s cousin Venesio has a nasty case of chicken pox, poor little guy, so he came over to spread some cheer and germs.
So we are hoping in 10 days time Aria is nice and spotty.  We are [...]

We are ok!  Aria is ok!  Well I guess nothing has changed which isn’t what we would of hoped for.  She is still waking up early and still coughing.  It is hard work getting up so early but Hamish reckons he doesn’t mind.   I really do still think something is up but just not sure [...]

Sigh, it is nervous times in the MacDonald house right now.  Hamish and I feel things aren’t 100% with Aria and we are just waiting.  Or are we just being paraniod??? 
Aria is waking up early (5am) and coughing.  This Staph she had is sticky and can lurk around.  We know if it is still around, [...]

I was changing Aria’s Wiggle dressing today.  It isn’t a fun job but we promised her she could water the plants with Aunty just as soon as it was done.  So she sat on the bed clutching her watering can and patiently waited for me to set things up.  In the mean time she decided [...]
