Friday is here!!
Aria did well yesterday again and the Gastro Reg hit the vein first time! We were all so relieved. Aria said Ouchie! But she was super brave and when it was over was saying Finished! Team Work! (it took her, me, the Doc and the nurse).Â
Hamish and I did something we had never done before and let the hospital do TPN! I know, shock and horror. Well not really. We have to be in at hospital for rounds at 9.30 and if we had waited to set up TPN one of us wouldn’t have got home until 7pm. So after three and a half years at Starship and letting the nurses handle her line all the time we decided that there was nothing to worry about and they had more than proven themselves. So after clearing it with the charge nurse and our nurse that they were all fine and going to do full sterile technique I left Aria with Nana.
Aria waved goodbye and I left at 2pm and I went and got a haircut!!! And so did Asher, he looks so grown up!! We had a nice night at home and a nice sleep. Ham is still asleep which is unlike him 🙂
We are so excited now! Still a list of things to do, um like packing and stuff!! Ha ha so nothing major. Planning to get the the KIDS foundation christmas party at Rainbows End if Aria is up to it and allowed out on Saturday.
Can’t believe it is finally here, we are leaving on monday! MONDAY !!! Oooo I have butterflies in my tummy just typing that! According to Google weather it is -3 degrees in Omaha, that is COLD!! 🙂

SO HAPPY the prayers have been answered!!! Can’t wait to hear from you once you arrive!! ha! I have to laugh though at the comment about the weather……oh my dear….it IS SO VERY COLD there!! Although you can get GREAT deals on coats, hats, boots, snow pants, etc…..at WalMart, Target, etc…. They are very cheap (compared to what I would pay here in Texas) I stocked up!!! 🙂 Also, talked to one of our friends there in OMA today. She is going to email you, so be on the lookout!!

I am so excited for all of you!! The tears are flowing… tears of absolute joy that this next journey is about to begin! We’ll keep thinking of you and praying hard for you! You guys are such an inspiration!

It is getting cold in the states, but it isn’t that cold yet Anita. I think Google was wrong. Temps. like that don’t occur until January. I am very excited that you finally get to come over to the states!

We also have dollar stores in the states. So dollar stores have good gloves & scarves, but there are some dollar stores that are questionable.

*Some* dollar stores.

so great you got that haircut!!!!! and so exciting you are away in just a few days, will look forward to updates on Aria’s site from Omaha!
# 4 Dec at 2:25 pm
There was a saying where we were living when we were in Texas, USA.”If Walmart doesn’t have it, you probably don’t need it” Wishing you all the best in Omaha. Looking forward to what God does in and through you when you get there. God bless you all richly as you take this next big step.
Love from Bill & Delwyn

Am so thrilled to hear you guys are on your way.
Will watch the site for updates and keep all fingers and toes crossed that transplant happens quickly for Aria and you are all home safe and sound again real soon.
# 4 Dec at 5:21 pm
http://www.wunderground.com/US/NE/Omaha.html says is was from -10 up to -2 degrees Celsius today, which is 14 up to 28.4 degrees fahrenheit. Snowing in Texas we were told today. So yeah it is cold.
# 4 Dec at 9:00 pm
So glad things are working out for you but not surprised. God works in mysterious ways but everything works out when you love and trust in Him. I pray that you have a good trip and Aria’s transplant will happen quickly so she can start living like other people. God bless you all.

found your website thru a friends site, i live in South Dakota, just 3 hours north of Omaha, it is COLD!!!! Wishing you a safe journey and lots of luck in Omaha, you will have to check out the Zoo there it is wonderful!!! we go every year!
# 5 Dec at 7:34 am
YES! OMA zoo is the BEST! (although might be a tad cold now) While you are at the Lied….you can go for FREE! Just have to give them a $50 deposit and the whole family can go. Just return the “pass” and you get your $ back. Also can go free to Children’s Museum downtown. Make sure you ask about any other “free stuff!” We didn’t find out about it all til several weeks into our stay. (would have saved us a bundle) They also have a shopping day (I think each Wed.) where they take a van to Wal-Mart….haha! Makes it very nice!! Especially for you crazy backwards drivers!! 🙂
