A trip to Star - Aria MacDonald

A trip to Star

Yesterday Aria and I went to ‘Star’ for a clinic appointment.  Aria was very excited, I think it might be the highlight of her week.  She is so funny, she plans a big list of all the things she is going to tell Dr E.  It included counting, spelling her name, big NuNu little NuNu, Ashie, preschool etc etc.

We got of the motorway and drove up the hill.  Aria yelled from the back seat ‘Aria sees it! Aria sees Star YAY WooHoo!!”  ‘That way Mummy’.  Honestly, it was so funny. She was so excited.

But of course, she is funny, and gets all shy when we actually get to clinic and had a bit of a meltdown about lying down for Dr E to look at her tummy.  So we needed up lying on the floor with a pillow a certain way.  She was pretty good after that though.

We had to go up to the ward to do monthly bloods because we wanted to avoid the drama of the Labtest change over.  It’s precious blood and don’t want them losing it cause they aren’t organised.  We talked about visiting Baby Sam and she was excited about that but again got all shy when we went in.

Overally it was an exhausting experience and we didn’t get home until 3pm which is quite late considering clinic was at 11am!

No news on funding except that it is held up in the process for various reasons.  It is annoying and a waiting game but we continue wait and trust in God’s timing.

    That is so funny! At least Aria wasn’t going to Star because she was sick again. That had to be a blessing! I pray that you get to come to Omaha very soon!
