Moving down in the world

12 Jan at 12:52 pm by Anita MacDonald

Todays events were proceeded by the events of the night. And me decided to sleep in the bathroom at midnight. No I wasn’t sick but I was sick and tired of the constant sound of running water coming from the radiator next to our bed. Omaha has been having such bad weather that the heat system has been working over time and and because of a design fault in the building the water flows thru the pipes and drives us crazy like some kinda of water torture.

Needless to say after complaining about it over 6 times and resorting to sleeping in the bathroom because it was the only quiet place Hamish went downstairs at midnight and demanded a new room. Anyway we finally managed some sleep with Hamish staying back with Ash in the old room and me getting a few hours downstairs.

So after a discussion with the building manager the only solution (short of tearing down the walls) is to move room downstairs to the 6th floor. What a mission! Lots of stuff we brought from NZ and we had filled every cupboard. So thankfully Aunty, Nana and Poppa were on hand to help. Can’t imagine how Hamish and I would of managed moving and the children too.

We also have a new address, it has only changed by one digit:
MacDonald/Room Number 6724
Lied Transplant Center
987600 Nebraska Medical Center
Omaha NE 68198-7600
USA

Anyway. Aria wasn’t quite her sparky self today which is a bit concerning, I hope she is just tired. No news to report really, just waiting for organs. Sigh.

Wow…what a hugely massive couple of weeks you guys have had. We just got back from holiday a couple of days ago and I can’t believe all you have just gone through in that short space of time! Really praying the organs will come soon and that there are no repeats like that any time soon. Hope you get more sleep in your new place. Thinking of you all and praying xx

Thinking of you. You’d think since you’re dealing with the BIG stuff that the little stuff would let up, huh? Hoping you get some renewed strength soon.
