Time is ticking by
It has been a busy week and weekend again. Asher birthday being the highlight and Aria’s dressing change the lowlight. I sit here on Sunday night knowing that we are about to repeat the event again tomorrow, fearing that it will probably be worse.
The day after Asher’s birthday was the final straw really and we knew things had to change.  Aria has been waking up at 4 to 5am nearly every day and yelling and vomiting. This has been going on for weeks and it is really hard, mainly because I know in my heart she is not right and this isn’t normal behaviour and I feel bad her life is like this right now.Â
So Thursday morning brought tears and tantrums, mainly mine, I know sad right?  The main problem is I feel Aria will eventually get a fever and her line will go. I want ABX now, before this happens and so we can all get some sleep. But that isn’t going to happen for reasons my head understands but my heart doesn’t.Â
Instead I stop fighting and submit to God and the powers that be. And after some straight talking from Hamish I put my grand plans aside for more realistic ones. We have moved Aria’s bed and she is sleeping down the hall. This means one of us can get up to her and the other can sleep. And we wait and pray. Pray for the early morning wakeups to go or a fever to come.  Please pray for us.

Oh so stink for you guys. Its really got to be so hard Anita and I know we don’t fully comprehend what you and Hamish are facing but I pray that God will work and His will will be done… though at times even that seems unfair to us. I know I am heading away on Saturday for 2 weeks but if there is anything we can do for you before hand let us know!
Love and hugs and a few tears on your behalf too.

one of the things our church is big on is corporate prayer and the power of numbers in prayer. We have prayer team who daily pray for the requests sent to them, plus the church, the leadership etc. I’ve put aria on this list as an ongoing prayer request, with if there is something specific, please if nothing else, take some comfort that you have literally hundreds of people standing in prayer with you on a daily basis and interceeding on your behalf, well on behalf of all of you.
As always i will and we will continue to pray for Aria and all of you, and please know and have some reassurance knowing we are all standing with you in prayer

I am real sad to hear that Aria is not 100% at the moment. You are doing an amazing job raising your two gorgeous children and looking after them so incredibly well. I wish you had less hard days. My thoughts are with your family as always.
