Houdini

I just spoke with Trish and she has her hands full with Ash tonight so she asked I update you all and tell you goodnight from her and Ash. She is telling me that Ash is a little Houdini. Although she has restraints to keep her arms away from the wires and tubes she always seems to find a way to escape. After her great escape she begins to try and undo all the hard work of the doctors and nurses. She was having a biopsy done on her new intestine and she was grabbing the instument from the doctor and trying to drive it herself. Well as you can guess the doctor just was not going to put up with this and my poor innocent little Gherkin had to be put in her place by the doc. It is great to hear these stories because it just goes to show how much more energy she has than when I was there with her last.

Trish was so excited to tell me of her dinner tonight and we are so thankful to Carmela Davis and her staff for providing such a wonderful meal to all the families. What a wonderful surprise this was for all. We are so thankful for you and your staff and all you are doing to be a part of Ashley's Story.

Thank you all for checking in on Ashley. There are so many more people checking the website than leaving comments. So if you feel led to please click on the guestbook tab and leave a message to Ashley or Trish or any one of us. We really enjoy reading the guestbook entries. They are such an encouragment to us.

To all who are volunteering and working for Ash, we thank you so very much.
