Wow- what a difference a night makes
We all headed home last night and we all had a great nights sleep.
This was great for Aria because she has been pretty unsettled at night and her sleeping thru means she is improving. And great for us because we don’t have to get up to settle her.Â
Aria’s liver biopsy is this afternoon so we are going back in and her and Ham are staying the night. The results won’t be due for a couple of days but we are hoping they will let her out tomorrow.
I am feeling a bit guilty about my moan about Starship yesterday. Sometimes that place does my head in, the great hospital giant concerned with bed spaces and function. BUT the reality is it is packed to the rafters of wonderful kind staff who really care about what they are doing for kiwi kids. This I personally know to be true.
I have gotten one beautiful email and one beautiful letter from two different Starship staff members. Yes- a letter- with an envelope and everything, which Aria quickly used to hold her crackers so her brother wouldn’t steal them. Both of them have know us for a long time, the letter writer since Aria was one day old! Needless to say Hamish and I were both teary reading both and so thankful for the rays of sunshine in our day.
Please pray for Aria today as she has her GA and procedure, please pray for the results. That her liver isn’t so desperately scarred that……..well that we can get to Omaha and get organs in a timely fashion.

I really don’t think you need to feelguilty about your wee ‘moan’. It is more than reasonable forit to all ‘get to you’ sometimes. I have never had to go through something as long and drawn out and painful as this- I would be moaning a lot more than you do!!! I am sure the wonderful staff there know how grateful- and how frustrated you are. You are doing a wonderful job-hang in there. Blessings to you all

I agree with Fiona. Praying that the biopsy will go smoothly today and for the results to be ok.

I hope all goes well! For the record, we all need to vent our troubles sometimes. God already knows what we’re going to think & say, before we know what we’re going to think & say. He knows that we need to vent sometimes. It’s totally understandable! Hang in there!
