Love love love
Our family gathered on Friday night for the Warriors game. Aria has two cousins, Tivoli and Venisio. Tiv is 4 and V is 10 months. Tiv sometimes asks questions about Aria like ‘does she do poos yet?’ or ‘where are her tubes?’ I explained her tubes as simply as I could (pretty tough concepts for most adults yet alone a 4 year old) and that Aria will do poos when she gets her operation.
Tiv wrote Aria a lovely letter (with his mums help) and did this awesome picture for her which he gave to her on Friday. It was so very sweet and heartwarming. He asked on Friday night ‘how do I make her laugh?’ so we gave him a few pointers and Aria was laughing away pretty soon.
I still can’t get my head around the fact there is a fracture in Aria’s leg. She seems so fine. She has a rocking horse which doesn’t have wheels yet this doesn’t seem to be an issue as she makes it take her places!!
We are giving her her antibiotics every six hours which is pretty tiring particularly at 3 am in the morning!! But it is fine and we are coping. I dropped off her blood culture to Medlab this arvo and the lady at the desk looked at me in disbelief that I did it myself. Tiv asked once if Uncle Hamish was a doctor one time when Hamish was doing TPN! Funny how life changes when you have kids!!!
