Starting Over
We are still waiting for a room to become available usptairs for Ashley. She has spent the day sleeping and has no idea what awaits her. I am feeling a little nervous about the move. I guess it just seems like we will be starting over again. New nurses, new routines, new germs, etc. I am always a little unsure of how we will be accepted and if they will like us or not. Sounds silly huh? I just never know if they will be sweet and kind or grumpy to us. It usually only takes a day or two to figure out who is there because they love their job and their patients and who would really rather not have to help you and your child. I am praying for the right people to be assigned to my sweet Ashley.
My heart is feeling sad because I just watched my sister be driven away to go to the airport. I am happy for her to be able to see her kiddos and her husband, but sad because I will miss her friendship. She has been so great. I will feel better tomorrow when my sister in law Rachael arrives. God has blessed me with an incredible group of people who I get to call my family. We are more like old friends than relatives. They are the most giving and unselfish people you will ever meet, and we are all so close. I love them for giving up time with their families to be here to help me and Ashley. I know how much it hurts to be away from your children and I am blessed they are willing to do that for us.
I know that the Lord is using Ashley in the lives of so many people. I am so encouraged to read that she is making a difference in the way people live their lives. It is not her, but God using her story to change the hearts of His people. It is amazing to think He would use our little 2lb 12oz baby girl to do such an important job. I know that if we are willing He will use us all. I pray that I am willing to be used by Him in whatever way He chooses. Today I am thankful for each little smile, each tiny wave, each twinkle I see in her eye, each clap of her hands, and each moment He gives me to make a memory with my Ashley.

God Bless You Both!
We hope that you get to make the move up soon, and that you get the nurses that don't think of the work they do as a job.....we want the ones for you that go above and beyond the call of duty....the ones that do what they do because they want to make a difference. Many prayers are being sent for the safe travels of your Sister and Sister in law. We continue praying that God will keep working miracles for little Ashley. We love you guys!
