Tentatively Tuesday - Aria MacDonald

Tentatively Tuesday

The big news of the day is that the medical team have tentatively labelled Tuesday as the day Aria can be discharged home.

Yes, you did read that right, home, H-O-M-E.

Of course there is always the potential for the unexpected with Aria, but we are praying very hard (and would like you to as well) that things would continue to improve and go smoothly so that can be a reality.

Aria seemed to be more comfortable today now they stopped the medication they think she has developed an allergy to, hopefully that continues and she will be a happy little camper till Tuesday.

Our mood could be described as cautiously jubilant.

Tomorrow Aria has a procedure (scope of her her upper airway) that requires a leur to be put in for IV sedation. Hamish and I are really hoping to go away Sunday night for 24 hours before Aria is discharged. We are really hoping they are able to get a line in without drama or else it will have to wait until Monday and the ‘holiday’ will be off.

Oh and Aria’s Nana and Poppa arrive here tonight, should be a great couple of weeks.

    That is awesome. Again Miss Aria is making medical history…I’ve never heard of anyone going HOME from ICU, thus skipping the ward. But seems she is going to spring yet another ‘surprise’.
    Sure you all will be on tenderhooks, only natural.
    Blessings to you all

    Wow…something I hadn’t really thought about as we get IV’s almost weekly. She had a central line for so long but given she is an amazing tough cookie I am sure she will breeze through the IV like a pro!

    Praying not only for Aria remaining well for discharge but also that you may have a wonderful relaxing holiday as a couple too!
