Big Wins and some disappointments - Aria MacDonald

Big Wins and some disappointments

First up- Aria is off the ventilator! Amazing news!  Unlike last time she flew and has done really well, no drama at all.

And we were able to remove her temporary central line and her foley catheter!  Two less infection risks!

AND we dodged the dialysis bullet too- kidney numbers improving and fluid shifted!

So some really good progress today, she is almost back to normal.

Unfortunately though she has been spiking temps in the early morning.  We found out today that her Steno bug has morphed and has become resistant to the antibiotic she was on.  So they have switched ABX but it is disappointing because this bug is already quite resistant in it’s natural state.  They have to source the ABX from the East Coast as it is not readily available in IV form.

Aria did well after we pulled the vent.  But pretty soon she got sleepy and complained of a headache.  The day she got sick she was complaining of bad headaches and we gave her a dose of morphine.  So we are quite disappointed they are back and still don’t understand why she gets them.  They are quite bad and she can’t sleep until she has pain relief on board.  It is hard to watch your kids in pain.

Lots of reasons to praise!  And lots of reasons to pray!

Thank you friends for checking in and supporting us.

    “Cast all your burdens upon Jesus for He cares for you”….a song that swirles around my head as I lift Aria before the throne of God. Hearing of progress is SO uplifting and we keep on the battle for her total restoration.
    Thank you for your regular updates. I’m hanging out for them daily. You are an inspiring family. Let’s keep up the Hope we have in Jesus. Much love across the globe!

    I praise God, that Aria is doing a lot better! Sorry to hear that Aria’s bug is so resistant. I’m sure the doctors will do their best to help make it go away. Praying that Aria will continue to get better! God Bless!

    During our Coffee group this morning we sang the chorus Count your blessings, I thought of Aria and I came home to read wins and disappointments….. counting the blessings and all answers but still praying.

    Thinking about you all…as I do every day. As you know I’m not into the ‘Goddy’ thing (Billy is My God) but my thoughts & hopes are with you & Aria. Wish I could make it all better for Aria. Hope Christine is (and I’m sure she is) a good strength to you all. Grandma’s are SO special…ask one who knows. Lotzaluv M x

    Our good Lord DID make a way for Aria where there seemed to be no way. Thank you so much Lord. Wow! Please can you keep the miracles coming. Aria is VERY special and she needs you to heal her body so much.

    Will keep praising the Lord and praying for you all. Jo

    Greetings and blessings dear ones. I just finished reading the blog and thought of this chorus we used to sing.
    Got any rivers you think are uncrossable? Got any mountains you can’t tunnel through? God specializes in things thought impossible! Our God can do what none other can do.
    He is working on Aria’s behalf crossing impossible rivers and tunneling through the hardest mountains. To God be the Glory for the things he has done AND is doing.

  13. Bland family says:

    Just amazing. God is just amazing. Aria is just amazing. You, Anita and Hamish, are both just amazing. Dear Jesus, what would be even more amazing right now is if Aria could go home to play with Asher. Thank you Lord, that You are in the amazing business. We praise You and thank You for your ongoing love and miracles. Amen.

    Although I don’t leave comments very often, I always have Aria in my daily prayers and read every update. 🙂 Glad to hear the progress on the vent and lines. Unhappy about the return of the headaches and status of the infection/resistance/morphing. God is always in command, and we fervently pray for his love and healing upon Aria.

    Sending love and prayers from 100 degree Texas,

    Sean (with Chelle and Carter in Boston)
