Someone has to be the hero
And that job goes to Hamish this week. Â I have been struck down in the ‘prime of lime’ (old Friends joke never mind) with a yucky cold. Â In some ways it was inevitable because after all the stress over the past three/four months for the first time I let my defenses down and relaxed. Â Hamish has been really awesome at taking both kids and letting me nap during the days.
Asher had his first full day at Preschool today and it went really well. Â He is started to play more with the other kids and went around saying goodbye to each one when he left today. Â Hamish picks him up and finds him happy and enjoying reading a book. Â We are so happy he is doing well. Â Today it seems like he belongs there and is fitting in just fine, which is pretty good for his 3rd time there.
Aria is good too. Â Pretty sleepy lately but not hugely that it would be concerning. Â She had a random temp spike last night of 38.5 but that was the first and last we heard of it and she was fine all day. Â They all the tests and nothing has come of all the cultures
We met a lady today whose daughter had a bowel/liver/pancreas transplant at three and a half (hopefully like Aria) and know she is seven and doing awesome and so beautiful. Â It was a really encouraging meeting more parents here.
Anyway better go. Â thanks as always for checking in and your beautiful comments and prayers.

Great to hear that Asher is doing so well. He really is Mr Social Butterfly. It must be a relief to you that he fits in so well with all that happens around him. He’s a very chilled out little man and thats a blessing.
Glad to hear Aria is steady and hopefully that temp behaves itself. Not a day goes past that I don’t think of you all and say a little prayer for organs for Aria. Very pleased to hear that you got to meet another family that has taken yours and Aria’s journey and are now a number of years through the transition. Again another blessing. Kia kaha. Linda xxxx

I hope someone makes you some chicken soup, to help you feel better! I think part of the reason you have a cold is simply because it’s winter here in the U.S. It’s the cold & flu season. I hope it’s just a quickie cold! I’m happy to hear that Asher had fun at preschool! It’s always nice to hear when a kid has a good time at school! I know Aria will get her new organs, & she will be like that other little girl! God Bless!

Glad Ashur is doing good at preschool. And what a blessing it is to have others around you that have or are going through the same thing. Those are the ones that cant truly understand. I hope you feel better soon Anita. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Oh, I’m SO glad you were able to meet that other mom with transplant daughter. And even more to hear how WELL she is doing now!!!! Sometimes I think God allows us to meet others in similar circumstances to give us a glimmer of hope and encouragement. Also, such a praise to hear Asher is fitting in and doing so well! Glad you are feeling better too Anita!
Love you guys!
