September 11th

Well folks, she did it again...

Yesterday morning Ashley's temp shot up and she got nausea again. So far all the tests have come back negative for an infection, but as we learned in Virginia, no one moves until they know what is going on.

On the bright side it is much easier to reschedule a 3.5 hour ground ambulance trip verses one by air ambulance. We have to wait on the rest of the tests so it could be Wednesday, or it might take until Friday.

Ashley is right back at it with therapy today since her stay at Select has been extented. Even though she is not feeling the best she is still participating since she knows that is what it is going to take to fully recover.

As we took down the cards and pictures that decorated Ashley's room over the weekend it gave us time to reflect on all the support Ashley has from all of you. We haven't taken the time to do an exact count, but by rough estimate we know Ashley has received over 700 cards and letters in the last ten weeks. When you consider all the love and prayers that come bundled in each card, letter, note and now, blog site comment, it is an awesome thought.

Please continue your prayers for Ashley to be healthly for her move and to have a successful rehabilitation in Chicago.

Ashley,

I have been praying for you so hard! I think about you everyday! I miss you so much, and I hope you get better really soon! Kelly and I still talk about doing a triathalon with you. I sent my application in to St. Marys also!! Maybe we will be future Belles together next year! Have a safe trip up to Chicago!
I love you!

Hi Ashley,
We hope you are feeling better! No one wants to travel when they're feeling pukey.(?) We know you'll be ready to go when the time is right. Get better honey, we're praying for you. Love, Aunt Lynn, Uncle Stan, and Angela

Hey, Ashley-
We're sure pulling for you! Mike & I were going to visit you the weekend of Aug 18, but I came down with a cold - bummer. We did get to attend the fundraiser at the pool. Wow, so many people - all there FOR YOU!!
Sounds like your parents have done their homework & the Chicago treatment will be best. We look forward to hearing when you have arrived there.

Get well!!! We want to see you on that waverunner at Lake Freeman - with your brilliant smile!!!

Love,
Cuzzins Mike, Vicki, & Ben
