Wiggle Dressings
For weeks now Aria has been waking at 5am and yelling to get up. Typical 2 year old behaviour or something amiss?Â
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 this superduper dressing on to kill the bugs. Of course Aria protested and it was a bit full on but we got thru it ok.Â
Since this dressing went on, no 5am yelling! Two days of no yelling. Is it too soon to blame the bugs and declare victory? I am currently typing this at 1am in the morning. I can’t sleep to excited about whether or not the weeks of 5am wake up are over. How sad am I? 🙂
We are back in at daystay on tuesday for an iron infusion and another dressing change. As the dressings are 7 days each I get a nice two week break from having to change Arias dressing and the drama that comes with it. And Aria only has to have a dressing change once a week! Yay.
Asher is on the mend I think. He is loving the soy formula, thank goodness, although at $25 a tin I am not loving it that much!
Anyway stay tuned for more exciting updates on the demise of the 5am wake ups!!

Great to see some light at the end of the tunnel (or not seeing the rising sun every morning!). Our prayers are with you.
