On track
Aria is still on track for discharge tomorrow! Â We have less than 24 hours to go. Â SO EXCITED
There is lots of work being done and none of it is being done by me. Â Operation Home is being managed by a team of people and they assure me they are all sorted. Â In fact I don’t even have to tell them what time we will be home with Aria, they are ready and waiting for our call that we are home bound and will meet us there. Â AND tomorrow we clean out the room of everything- EVERYTHING. Â Anything that isn’t nailed down we are taking. Â Ok not quite that- but if it has been billed to Aria’s account and we can use it at home it is coming.
We did a car seat test on Aria today. Normally this is done on little premmie babies to check they can manage carseats rides without comprising their breathing. Â Baby capsules bend babies in the middle (rather then laying them flat) which is why carseats should stay in the car! Â Even though Aria can sit upright we want to get her belted in and make sure she wouldn’t get uncomfortable and slump down- she did great!
Hamish is rooming in with her tonight and doing all her cares- just like at home. Â Hopefully they will both get some sleep.
Hopefully the next post will be to announce Aria’s home coming!

God’s timing has been so wonderful throughout Aria’s journey. Glad that Mum and Dad are there to help out, letting you guys concentrate on settling Aria back into home life.

Conni Brady says:God bless you guys….. It’s been a rough road but you’re getting there now.
I remember being billed in American Hospitals. Wondered how an aspirin which I could buy 500 of at the chemist could cost me 5 bucks each in a hospital. I think you should take any and everything thats not nailed down. It’s outrageous.
Anyway long time no talk but you’re still in my prayers!!! God bless you Aria!!!!! Jesus has his hands on you little one!
