Home!
Miss Aria is home! Not in anyway 100% but we will keep a close eye on her and do her ABX at home so there is no point for her to be in hospital.
We are all nervous about what Swine Flu has done in Aria’s body. I had a wee panic yesterday because I thought perhaps this was Aria starting to struggle. Some long conversations later I learnt that it is documented that regular healthy people drop their iron levels and get chest infections post swine flu so we shouldn’t be surprised Aria did too.
It is hard because most of the time we have spent in hospital this year could of be avoided if I play the ‘what if’ game. Also could of done without the drama yesterday with the concern over her iron levels. But I realise Aria is doing pretty well and this is just part of the journey we are on.Â
So now we are hoping her breathing improves and we don’t have to go back in on Friday!
Thanks for your support. Every text/comment/email/facebook/offer of help/dinner means a HUGE amount, thank you.
Update Aria has been laughing and walking around this afternoon! We are so happy about that :) Her belly is really big though and it looks really uncomfortable. Lots of gas in there according to the Doc and of course she can’t ‘pass wind’ so it is hard to get it out.Â
Cute moment- When Asher got home she said “Ashie so happy Aria home” Very cute, Asher was happy though, not just his big sister putting words in his mouth.
Yummy moment- the still warm double chocolate chip cake our friend Karla dropped around! Thanks Karla.
