Goodbye to an old friend
There has been a big event since the last post.
Aria’s line is gone 🙁
Turns out the reaction to the imms was really a line infection. Seems like the bugs from the last one a couple of weeks ago were hiding and the only way to kill them completely was to remove the line. Human bodies aren’t supposed to have bits of plastic in them, well not in the veins directly because bugs stick and Staph is a sticky bug.
Our poor Dr E got a bit of grilling from Hamish and I before we would sign the consent form. We just needed to make sure we were making the very best decision for Aria. Times like these you appreciate the faith and trust that you put in the people that advise you. Aria’s lines are so very very precious and no one takes to removing them lightly.
Still it is important to remember it is Aria’s first line and she has done well to keep it so long. It is amazing and she is well loved and looked after by God.
For the next couple of day she has a temporary line in her foot until a new central line can go back in. If you put a new one in straight away the bugs find it and stick to the new one! I tell you, bugs are tricky things.
It has been a hard day for Hamish and I and most importantly Miss Aria. Gosh she does it tough. She was screaming when we went down to Recovery to get her, most unlike her. A nap with Daddy did the trick and she was ok after that. Recovery is like Parent Hell. I truly hate going there, finding your precious baby girl in a rather terrible state. It is awful. Still Aria is ok but knowing we have to do it all again in a couple of days time is not nice.
Thanks for your support.

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

I”m so sorry she had to loose the line, but i think considering this one has lasted her a year it’s totally amazing, and totally show’s God’s hand over Aria’s life and yours as a family…
And while you have to go through it all again in another few days, we’ll keep Aria and you guys in our prayers she’s on our cell groups prayer list and the prayer chain at church….
