Easy Peasy
Just a quick status update on our Miss Aria and a wee story too.
Aria has been admitted to PICU today because of concerns regarding her breathing. She is requiring more support than usual at the moment and they want to keep an eye on her till they feel she is doing better. This may be viral related or perhaps asthma related, they are not too sure but they are keen to get it straightened out. The fact she is a bit low on red blood cells can’t be helping things either, they may need to transfuse to get that particular issue sorted too. The other contributing factor is that she is retaining a bit of water too which sometimes makes breathing a little harder.
All in all, things aren’t terrible but just out of sorts enough that some of the staff at UNMC want her there and not here at home. Anita is pulling the night shift so prayers for a good sleep would be appreciated.
Now for the little story; Aria is a very courageous girl as you all would probably have ascertained by now. This week she has had about 6 blood draws or lines placed, some by finger bities, others by pokes with needles into veins. As you can imagine these aren’t fun ever and are a cause of anxiety and worry for many, many people, kids and adults alike. Aria doesn’t really like them either, she will tolerate finger bities because they are better than pokes to her. Lately when faced with yet another of these situation as they are going on, or afterwards will say to us “easy peasy”. Obviously they are not easy, or peasy, but she faces them with the courage and can-do attitude that makes her such a special girl.
Anyway prayers that Aria bounces back quickly and we can get out of hospital tomorrow with a happier, healthier Aria, so she can go to her party at Build-A-Bear, the first part of her Make A Wish trip.

You dear little brave girl, Aria! I think you are teaching so many of us grown ups what the meaning of courage is! Sleep well and God’s blessings on you and angels to watch over you as you sleep tonight!
