Praise and prayer - Aria MacDonald

Praise and prayer

Last night Aria was OVER-ventilated on the vent (not a  big deal).  Her progress is faster than the team can keep up with 🙂  So she will be on the 02 for 12 hours during the day and sprinting during the night.  AWESOME

Actually while it is great news the vent is on the only thing keeping us in the PICU.  Leaving the PICU, after spending 7 months there and only there (apart from 2 days on the general ward) it kinda tough.

Aria is having dialysis today.  This is probably the thing keeping Aria in the hospital full stop, that and her wound perhaps.

There is a plan to get Aria a speaking valve for her trach today.  We might be able to hear her voice for the first time in months today!

Lots to praise God for and lots to bring before Him 🙂

    WATCH OUT, STAND BACK, LOOK OUT….HERE COMES ARIA!

    Wow these last few posts are awesome…Aria certainly has her foot on the accelerator, going full steam ahead. Maybe exceeding the speed limit??!! Woo hoo!

    Earlier on soon after the 2nd transplant when she was going at a great speed I made the comment….she may even be able to eat her own b/day cake this year….I said it kinda with tongue in cheek as she was doing so well. No need to have worried abt the tongue in cheek as she DID DO just that, actually eating her first soup before her b/day. Again Aria has shown she can pull surprises at any time.

    Seems she has jumped all the hurdles & these issues holding her back right now are just small humps in the road for her to get over. Seems she has done the majority of the hard work & is on the freeway/motorway cruising along with just the odd traffic jam to get thru.

    You are amazing Aria & have done so well, you make us proud, not to mention how proud your medical team & family especially your doting & supportive Mummy, Daddy & Brother feel.

    Make way in the ward, Aria is heading your way, tho just for a stop over before heading home to live as a family of 4 TOGETHER under the one roof.

    Love & Blessings to you all.

    wow – 7 months in PICU… i dont even want to imagine what that medical bill is sitting at!! and the fact that it is all paid for is another BIG reason to thank God for His WONDERFUL love and answered prayers…. Thank God you dont have to sit with that financial burden and that you have the privilledge of being able to nurse your beautiful little girl to 100% health without having to worry about the bill! If He cares for the birds how much more will He not care for you!! OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!!! and then we havent even started mentioning all the miracles that have taken place throughout Aria’s life so far!! Where does one begin to say THANK YOU to our Heavenly Father!!!
