September 12th

Ashley has bounced back strong. Seeing her today you wouldn't guess she was feeling 'under the weather' on Monday. Even so, to give all the tests their time to come back with results (this is one situation in life where it is appropriate to think negative, as in negative test results for infection) we have postponed the move to Chicago until Monday.

Ashley has been moving more today and looking around more than I have ever noticed before. She remained in a supported standing position for 30 minutes in addition to other therapy tasks. Following her morning therapy session Ashley went outside. Sitting in her workout sweats you would think she was ready to jump up and go for more.

Again we are blessed that the the people at Select are pouring their hearts and souls into helping Ashley get better. The more we hear about R.I.C. in Chicago the more we are reassured that they too will bring out the best in Ashley and lead her to a full recovery sooner than anyone else.

Ashley,
Glad to hear you're feeling better. I'm so glad you get to stand up. Chicago can wait, you'll go when you are good and ready. Love, Aunt Lynn, Uncle Stan and Angela

Ashley,
YAHOO You're standing and that is only the begining!!!! Uncle Craig is taking me to Chicago either Sat or Sun so I know for sure how to get to RIC. I may have to stop in at the Cheesecake Factory, better yet I think Uncle Craig should buy me something perhaps that sparkles and hangs from my ears. Don't you agree?
Love Aunt Beth, Uncle Craig, Alex, and Jess

Ash--
Hey, sweetheart, that's great to hear you're getting better! My mom apologizes for not coming in today-- I had a bit of a bad week and she was mildly distracted by that (someone broke into our apartment), and she didn't know that you hadn't left for Chicago yet! She feels really bad about missing it! But it sounds like you're doing well, which always makes us really happy!!
Oh, and sidenote: Remember when you dropped your phone in the pool? I dumped a glass of water on my laptop... I'll tell you about it when I see you!
I love you, and I'm so happy you're getting rid of that nasty bug!
xoxoxo,
Emily

Hey Ashley!
I definitely talked to Adrienne and she told me about this special website which you now have. (What a good idea Mr. and Mrs. H, thank you so much for updating us!) The picture of you on the page is absolutely gorgeous! I am so glad that you are feeling better today, and I am so glad that you were up and at'em today! Too bad I wasn't there to attempt to fix your hair like last time. haha P.S. Zac Efron's girlfriend is going to be on the tyra banks show....should we tell sam? haha
Love you Ash! XOXOXO times a million!!!!
