"Her lungs are very, very sick."
As I walked back into the room a few moments ago the doctor looked at me and said these words," Her lungs are very, very sick." Ashley is becoming more and more ill as the night or morning goes on. My sweet girl was sitting up in her bed all by herself last night and playing with her baby in the mirror, but tonight she is breathing by machine only.
They have taken her off the regular vent and have placed her on an Oscillatory Ventilator. This machine is not only pushing breaths into her lungs it is also drawing them out of her lungs. Ashley is not breathing on her own at all. She is sedated and paralyzed, and the doctor just warned me that she is not to be moved at all. I am not able to even lay my head on her pillow next to hers. I can no longer hold her hand. All I am allowed to do is sit in her room so that she is not alone.
If you are reading this tonight or in the morning before you go to church or even if you don't attend church I am begging you to please pray and have everyone you know pray for our baby. Pray that He will bring her through this. She is no longer the strongest one on the floor. She has become one of the sickest. My heart is sick from typing that statement, but it is the reality of what Ash is going through tonight. Thank you for praying and for caring.

Dear Lord, We come to you this morning and ask that you lift Ashley into your loving embrace and that you will hold her tight and let her feel your arms around her as her mother can not hold her. We pray that you will do your work in her body and heal her lungs and also whatever is causing her to vomit and the problem with the blood. We know that you know every inch of her body and what they problems she has and only through your hands can she be healed. We pray that you give the doctors and nurses the wisdom to do what needs to be done for her. Dear Lord, we ask that you will also put your arms around Trish and give her comfort during this trying time and that she may feel your love. Give her strength and may her faith in you not faulter. We also ask that you comfort and give strength to David, Blake and Allie and the rest of Ashley's family as they can not be there with Ashley and Trish at this time. Dear Lord, continue to give Ashley the will and strength to fight as she has done for over a year. May your will be done and bless this loving family. Thank you for all you do and continue to do. Thank you for loving everyone of us. In God's name. Amen.
Our Gracious Heavenly Father,
I come to You looking to You the Great Physcian, asking You to put Your healing touch on little Ashley. I pray that You would restore her breathing, that You would cause her lungs to breath on their own. I pray for wisdom for all who are caring for her right now. I do thank you for the ones You had with her during the early morning hours at such a critical time. Lord, wrap Your loving arms around Ashley and Trish. They need a special touch, they need Your touch, Father. They need Your assurance that they are not alone. I pray for the comfort that only You can give Trish right now. Keep her strong, hold her up and give her courage.
I pray for David, Blake, Allie, Bobbie and Glenda that You give them a calm as they are so far away from Trish and Ashley. I pray that You minister to them individually as You know their needs right now.
Thank You, Father, for all that You have done for and through little Ashley and her story. We thank You and praise You for her life and right now we are looking for complete healing. Please hear my prayer for this precious family. We ask that it be Your will and that Your name would be glorified in all of this. I do pray in the precious name of Jesus Amen.
