The good news fairy - Aria MacDonald

The good news fairy

Today is another good day.

Guess what?

ARIA PEED and there is NO dialysis today- why ?  Cause she doesn’t need it.  Yesterday was a break because of her birthday and we asked for it knowing that things would go wonky (her labs- electrolytes and kidney numbers)  But overnight they didn’t and she peed out 46mls of wee/pee and another 20mls now.

We will probably have it tomorrow but thats ok- Aria is moving in the right direction.

Aria is currently trialing 2 hours three times a day on no vent but 26% 02.  You and I breath room air which is 21%.  We tried capping off her trach and she didn’t do awful but still needs a bit more time.  Her o2 stats dropped to low 90s.  But on the 26% she sits nicely at 100- perfect.

Do you know a month ago they were buzzing around with an oscillator!!!!  Aria was paralyzed and on full serious vent support- now they are trying her on room air- breathing by herself?  This is HUGE.

I told our nurse today she was the good news fairy when she updated me.  Nothing magically about this though- GOD IS GOOD.
