A bit of bad news
We are pretty sad today. We took Aria to Starship last night because she had a really high temp. She has been admitted and the Docs have started antibiotics. Her temps are really high and she is not herself with bright pink cheeks.
So the 1st birthday party plans have a question mark over them right now. We will decide later on in the week but it is looking pretty doubtful. We are pretty upset with the idea of celebrating Aria’s birthday in hospital. We are hoping and praying we will be home on Sunday and Aria will get better very quickly.

Dawn says:Just when things were chugging along so nicely
it’s pretty rough and crappy timing,
here’s all the best thoughts and prayers for ur wee precious little girl. And here’s hoping for a great first birthday.
Someone once told me that the first birthday for a child is more about you as parents surviving the first year, but i think in your case, it’s a celebration of how far you’ve all come together on this amazing journey called life

p.s. We all hope that little Aria gets better as soon as possible, and i also have a little sister one day younger than Aria and she was also in intensive care at Starship at five weeks old she may have been in the same ward with Aria maybe i even made you a cup of tea as i was told to help by mum to make cups of tea for all the other mums… happy birthday for Aria hope shes out and we may even be celebrating both of their birthdys t the same time.
