Yay for friends
After such a difficult admission it is really nice to have the support of people that care for our family.
Last dinner Joanne brought us around a yummy dinner which was great because there were really scary things in our fridge!
Hamish’s best friend Paul and his wife came over for coffee last night.  I haven’t posted about this or talked to anyone at Starship about it but Paul’s dad passed away while Aria was admitted.  And then the gathering to celebrate his life was on the Wednesday which was the day after Aria was admitted to ICU and of course she was really sick so we couldn’t leave.  So lots of sadness around that because Gary was an awesome guy and we didn’t get to say good bye like we wanted too. Â
We have missed out on a lot because of that week. Still, Jean took me grocery shopping last night which was heaps of fun, yes fun!! To be able to be child free and have some time with a friend to chat was really great.  Her and Paul kindly shouted us a weeks worth of groceries and some yummy treats.
Today Katherine is over ironing a huge pile of Hamish’s shirts and entertaining the kids. Again it is nice to chat and get some jobs done with company.
Aria is better today. Still not 100% and lacking energy but laughing and happy. For those interested her tummy is measuring 59cms which is great. Getting back into home life is going to take some time. She woke up at 4am and decided it was time to sleep in mum and dad’s bed. Oh the joys of living in more than one room!!!

Isn’t it amazing that God is testing you in one regard (but without a doubt with a purpose in mind) but He doesn’t leave you stranded, shown by all the love and friendship around you.
