The Plan….. - Aria MacDonald

The Plan…..

Ok, we have pretty much everything back from Mondays explorations and the conclusion is that there is something wrong with Aria. However all the tests in the world have been able to reveal only negative results. So while we all know that something is wrong with Aria we have no idea what that something is.

For now the plan is for all the treatments she is on to stop, for us to go home tomorrow if she doesn’t go backwards overnight and then wait and see if she ends up back in hospital worse than ever. If that was to happen then the next logical step everyone agrees on is to go in after a hunk of lung and get a (hopefully) definitive answer. We aren’t doing that right away because getting a chunk of lung is a pretty major undertaking and we don’t want to do further harm to her delicate lungs unnecessarily.

We like this plan, best case scenario, Aria gets better and goes from strength to strength and we’ll put this down to some random and unusual virus. Worst case we end back here in a few days/week but better off for having the family home for a time to recharge all our batteries.

This has been a weird admission, lots of big ‘what ifs’, a pretty happy PICU-bound Aria, plans changing at every turn, and no answers at the other end. It is reassuring that God knows what is going on, but sometimes we would really like it if He would share with the group.

    Thinking of you and hoping that it is viral and it has now passed. Also hope that you have no re-admitting and can get on with your form of normality with plans for Christmas and that trip to Disney. Go Aria you are a battler with so much character. XXXX

    hoping & praying that aria will now be ok, & no nasties crop up.

    wishing you all some great family time, & a good recharge of the batteries.

    i know god will know what’s going on, & has you all in the palm of his hand.

    yep, it would be nice if god told you what’s going on, but it doesn’t quite work that way.
