Did you feel that?
Highlight of the DAY!
Cordell came in to visit and brought us a giant heart shaped cookie from his lovely neighbours. Â As he was leaving he held Aria’s hand and said goodbye. Â She was asleep. Â As he turned to leave Aria lifted her hand and waved to him! 😀 We were so excited. Â Awesome. Â A little glimpse of our Aria’s personality that we are missing so much.
Did you feel that? Â That was a pretty big bump in the road for Aria yesterday. Â Or maybe we should compare it to the many potholes on the street of Omaha. Â It was a pretty deep pothole.
So it is fair to say it a setback in Aria’s recovery. Â At least that is how the surgeon described it. Â She will remain on the vent thru the weekend. Â Because they had to replace her blood they pumped her with fluid so she is back to being pretty puffy again.
Yesterday was pretty tough. Â Hamish was dropping Asher at preschool and was going to run some errands. Â But suddenly Aria’s lips seem to change colour to white and she looked very very pale. Â Then it was all on. Â Thankfully all the doctors were about to come into her room for rounds away. Â The surgeon got the OR booked and everybody piled in her room to get her transported for surgery. Â At the same time a different team syringed blood into her central line. Â Normally it goes thru on a pump at X mls an hour but it needed to get into her body FAST.
We as always just so thankful for God’s timing. Â That this didn’t happen at midnight on the weekend when the surgeon would of been home. Â So thankful that they are amazing here at Nebraska Med, everything happens very quickly. Â Aria was sorted (or being sorted) and off to the OR within about 15mins. Â Also thankful Asher was at preschool that day so Hamish and I managed a little time together while Aria was in the OR and had the day to fully focus on Aria.
The team here has always made it clear there were going to be bumps and potholes. Â Aria is also still battling infection in her abdominal wall. Â Her belly has a lot of healing to do and those organs have a lot of growing to do.
So we look to the Great Healer and the Great Physician who can do more that we can even ask for or think of.  He is totally the driver of this journey.  We trust Him in the bumps and potholes of life

We found ourselves in a very high state of prayer when we heard the news, but draw even higher faith and hope from seeing the calm and peace God has provided you, even through the bumps. Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

So sorry to hear of the setback but I think of the words-If he takes you to it he will see you thru it.
Just praying here for a good day and healing for Aria and peace for you all.
