We are home!!
Aria was discharged today. Yay, it took awhile to get out but we are home finally.
Interesting we are home on IV insulin, a first for Starship from what I understand. Everyone is a bit amazed because IV insulin is mainly only done in intenstive care, not at home by two non-medical professionals. Anyway Starship seem to believe in us and our IV skills and we are very glad they do.
 Aria’s blood sugar levels went nuts while we were in hospital because of all the stress the mystery illness was causing her system. She was started on insulin to bring those sugar levels under control.
 We will need to slowly wean her off it to see if she will be ok without it completely, whether it will be something we do while she is sick and recovering from sickness or whether it will be a full time addition to our caring routine. Hopefully it will be a once off freak thing that never happens again but with our one in a million girl, we won’t count our chickens just quite yet.
 Thanks for your prayer and support while we have been in hospital, its been a tough stay, we are all emotionally and physically spent, and know that your prayers have kept us going.
Here’s to a good period of hospital free time to help us recharge our batteries.

Praise the Lord Anita and Hamish.
Your faith continues to strengthen as you endure these trials – I was just reading James 1 to the family this week and while it is a difficult time we certainly are strengthened by Christ as we endure trials and seek wisdom from Him.

Great news to hear you are all home. now you just need to take time out and recover from your long ordeal. Thinking of you all and fingers crossed that the insulin is only temporary. But, if its not, I know you will cope in your extraordinary way that you do.
Lots of hugs xxxx
