Ashley is now venturing outside.
On Tuesday and Wednesday Ashley went outside. Other than during her transfer from Virginia this is the first time Ashley has been outside. Even with the heat and humidity Ashley enjoyed getting out.
On the medical front all of Ashley’s tests have come back clear so no more yellow gowns and gloves for visitors.
The social worker and medical staff at the hospital have been conferring with potential rehabilitation facilities for the next stage of Ashley’s recovery. I will be visiting a facility in Chicago tomorrow. We don’t know when, but given Ashley’s progress she may be moving soon to increase the level of therapy.
Ashley is showing marked progress so far this week. While it is still difficult for her she is following requests from the therapists and us with more frequency. We made up small signs that have statements and include pictures such as ‘wiggle your toes’ and lift your right arm’ and, when she is in the mood she is doing it.
Folks your prayers are working. Thank you and please continue to pray for continued progress leading up to Ashley’s full recovery.

Hey, Ashley! I read that you're going outside. That's wonderful, I am so happy for you. You know we outdoor gals have to have that sun on our faces! I got to lay out today for an hour and a half (yes, I was doing homework somewhere in there, too, don't you worry!), but it was so darn hot I had to come in. Ok, not only that, but I was hungry. Big surprise, huh? Emily being hungry? Psssh. You'd better believe I made a huge salad and scarfed it!
Well, I miss you, girl. I hope God keeps the days sunny for you to go outside! Hope to see you soon! I love you, sugar!
XoXo,
Emily
PS.
Mom said she'd love to send you notes here, but you know Donna... entirely computer-illiterate. So she sends her love and prayers, and hopes to see you on Thursdays (ahem, hint, hint, Mrs. Harrington! Take Mom up on that offer!)! She'd love to come in and sit with you whenever. Mom will give you another voice to hear and give your mom's voice a rest! We love you, Ash!
Hi Ashley! I can't wait to see you. Mom says it should be really soon. I can't wait! Angela
