Things change so quickly
It has only been an hour and a half since what I thought would be my final post tonight. Or I guess now it is morning. Ashley has spiked a temperature and her abdomen has become very distended over the last couple of hours. They are now in her room taking blood which I absolutely hate when they do this to her. I can hear her wimpering all the way down the hall. I am not strong enough to stay in there with her because I don't trust myself. When they stick her more than once my instincts kick in and I fear I will lose my testimony very quickly. They are also going to place a catheter to draw a unrine sample. She does not understand why they woke her up and are now hurting her. How do I help her? My heart is aching and I know there is no one awake to ask them to pray for her right now. So I am again pleading that God will please help her right now. I want to ask why but I wont allow myself to question what He is doing. Please God don't let this be anything else. Please let her begin to heal and allow her new organs to work. Please let her grow up so she can know how amazing she is to all of us. I want her to tell her story not me. I want so desperately for her to know YOU! I pray this is nothing. Let it be nothing and let her go back to sleep not back to surgery.

Just when you think there is no one person awake at this time, there is. You are not alone. I have said a prayer for you and Ashley and hope you two will receive much needed peace and rest. I have asked God to give Ashley strength during this healing process. Also, the mother in me, has asked God to shower Ashley's family with His comfort. I have an 8 month old and she is sleeping in her crib right now. I pray that one day soon Ashley will rest in her own bed and have her family to look upon her and have great hope for her future.
Dearest Trish, I have just read your recent comments stating that no one is awake to pray for Ashley right now, but I am awake and I join with you in prayer right now in praying for God's mercy on your little Ashley and on you as well. You are such an incredible mother and yes, it is o.k. to cry out to our Father, to cast all thoughts and emotions on Him. This is what He tells us to do so go ahead. Dear Lord, we trust you, we honor you, we praise you and right now we cast ourselves down at your feet because our hearts are heavy with concern over what has taken place over the last couple of hours with precious Ashley. We know you love her and we are looking to You to give wisdom and guidance to the medical staff and that whatever the problem is will be taken care of very soon so that little Ashley and Trish can get back to sleep. Please, Father, we pray that this will not be any thing major, just a small setback and that it will be resolved soon. We pray this, for your perfect will in the precious name of Jesus~~Amen
Trish, your mom is in the Beth Moore class I'm leading at OHBC and she came to my SS class as well so I am keeping in touch with her, also.
In His Love, Janiece Baldwin
