Homeward bound… hopefully.

2 Apr at 9:52 pm by Anita MacDonald

Well Anita was sweet talking our Dr today and it looks like we may get to go home before Easter. To get to that stage Anita has to learn how to do IV Antibiotics so we can do it at home. It sounds like we need 2 more weeks of antibiotics to get this thing sorted. At least it sounds like we can now do this at home.

Aria continues to be her cheerful self, and everything seems to be returning to normal. Anita is really good at making her laugh, especially in the evening after she goes back onto her TPN and gets her second wind before going down for the night. I some time wonder if Anita stays awake at night trying to think of new ways of making her laugh.

We had some really interesting visitors today a teenage girl who had long segment Hirschsprung’s when she was a little girl and her mother. It was really good to talk to people who had overcome the Dr’s expectations and who had lived through a situation in some ways similar to what our little family was going through. It was encouraging to meet and talk to them.

Its amazing what people have been brought into our path on this journey and who has stepped up to be of great help and support to us. I look forward to see what lies ahead for us all.
