Well, well, well….
Colour us surprised.
They decided to do another contrast scan today because of Aria’s temp spikes yesterday.  They put contrast top and bottom, thru the NG tube and the stoma.  We were really surprised when the results came back improved.  There are fistulas forming, don’t ask me what those are but apparently they are good.
Aria’s temp was normal overnight and her heart rate was better. Â It has popped up a bit in the past couple of hours but it is improved regardless.
AND there is talk of exubating her tomorrow! Â She has done a 10 hour sprint on the vent today and it has gone well. Â Perhaps she is ready?
So things are looking up which is great cause yesterday was really tough going. Â I think Chippie was kind enough to not only allow us a hopeful dream but also a little outlet for some emotion that needed to leak out. Â Welcome to the strange world were tears are positive things and bring you forward.
So many people have done and continue to do amazing and wonderful things for us. Â Of course not all of them make the blog, Chippie’s did. Â But there is a lot of people on Team Aria. Â I imagine you all in my head wearing purple tshirts with Team Aria written on them. Â Cheesy? Â Maybe but a nice thought.

The words that come to mind are from a song: strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow! Can’t remember how it starts and how it finishes but this bit says enough! You can say it every day, because He promises STRENGTH FOR TODAY and HE WILL BE THERE TOMORROW!
Love you lots

What a beautiful ray of sunshine for today – see things are getting better even when they don’t seem to! I’ve found recovery is a strange beast and all I really know is that it takes time and is so worth it! Looking forward to hearing about tomorrow!
