Aria’s day - Aria MacDonald

Aria’s day

14 Oct at 9:02 pm by Anita MacDonald

Today was the first day we managed to leave Aria at Preschool by herself.  Aria loves Preschool but it has been a bit stop and start due to hospital admissions and holidays.

Although it was only for an hour after I managed to coax Hamish away.  Aria pulls out all the tricks in the book to get us to stay, she is quite classic.  Needless to say she was pulling on her Daddy’s heartstrings because that what little girls do.

Of course we left and Hamish went back an hour later to find she was completely fine and having a grand time with her littles buddies. 

Asher also went to Josie’s and has finally stopped crying and chasing me when I leave.  He had always been fine with us leaving until the last hospital admission and ever since he has cried when we drop him off.  But today he blew kisses and waved and I was relieved.

Aria is super excited about her liver biopsy next week and is counting down the days.   I even told her she was going to Theatre and she looked at me and you could see the wheels turning and then she smiled and said OK.  She is very excited about sleepovers at hospital and is planning all the things she wants to take.

Today I gave her a bath and changed her Wiggle Dressing.  What a legend, she didn’t even cry when I took off the old dressing.  Previously this has always been a bit of a mission (think ear plugs).  Then I took her to the supermarket to get milk and she walked all the way up the ramp at Pak N Save in Manukau which is quite a long walk at an incline.  We feel like she is doing well and keep forgetting she is sick!
