Awake!! - Aria MacDonald

Awake!!

Great news this morning, Aria is awake and alert and trying to interact with us!!

She’s even had a couple of goes at trying to extract the breathing tube herself. This however is not a decision that can be made by Aria, so we will be waiting for this afternoon to get the Dr’s okay to have this done. They are happy with Aria’s mental condition but they just want to be extra sure that her breathing will be okay by herself. To this end they are treating Aria with asthma medication, a vibrating treatment and suction every couple of hours.

We are so excited and grateful to God to see Aria back with us, it was a very scary experience to think that Aria was ‘gone’. However God has again delivered Aria back to us through a tough and terrible situation.

God is so gracious to us, it is such a blessing seeing our (and your) prayers answered, and answered in the ways we desire.

Now, about those organs God…….

    Hello-
    I am so glad to read that Aria is acting more herself today. My son went into liver failure very quickly and I know what that feels like. I am so sorry you are living that right now. I wish I could offer prayers but I am not religious but I am thinking of you today – thinking very positively that Aria will recieve her gifts in time. I believe it will happen. Hang in there!!
