Please Pray for Ashley
I think I may be suffering from a mild heart attack. My chest and my head are killing me. It is now 5:oo a.m. and just 12 hours ago we had been discharged from the hospital. Now things have continually gone from bad to worse. I can't even describe the series of events that has happened to Ash tonight. All I can say is that she is now on the oscillating (high frequency) ventilator.
Sometimes the things that happen here seem so unreal. Surely I must be having a nightmare. One thing I have learned is that transplant is a very dangerous game to play. There are no simple answers. It is literally a moment by moment gamble with your childs life. I have no idea how to tell Blake and Al that Ash is back on the vent. They are going to be so disappointed this morning. I promised Allie that I would call her at 7:30. What am I going to say? She wants to tell everyone how Ashley's first night out of the hospital went.
If you come to this website today I would really appreciate it if you would please pray for my Ashley. I don't know where you are with your spiritual life, but I know that He listens and that He hears. I am asking everyone who knows Ashley's story to please pray for God's will to be done in my little one's life. To be honest with you I can't even form the words. They just won't come out of my mouth. I am tired and I am exhausted and I can't even pray, but I know this is what will bring her out of this tough time. Please tell everyone you know about my Ashley. Use her story to become bold enough to ask them all to pray. She needs you today. Thank you in advance for praying and for loving this little girl. I will never be able to repay you so please just know that I love you for loving her enough to care.

Praying for the kind of comfort and healing only our mighty GOD can bring..... Lord, PLEASE take Ashley's little body in your hands and touch her with Your healing power. This is our prayer today.... that You would heal this child. Our hearts cry out. Place Your Spirit in and around Trish, Dave, Blake, and Allie as they learn of this turn of events.... comfort their hearts and wrap Your arms around them. Lord God, please. We pray these things with hope. In Jesus' Name, AMEN.
I just caught up on the posts from last night .... there are no words to express your journey of UPS & Downs. I saw she was released & was so excited & my heart sunk as I read of the troubles you had last night & into today. Oh...Trish & Dave. Let me pray with you: "Dear Jesus...I can't say that I understand everything that has happened in the last 48 hours...Lord each person involved in this journey longs to see a miracle....for this child to live a long & healthy future....for her life to be a testimony to power in prayer...& what you can do LORD. We don't understand the plan...or your will at times...forgive us for that....give each member of the Adams family strength & your peace today. Lord...heal whatever is causing this setback with Ash. Oh Lord... how much more must she endure? I pray for your will but our hearts desire is for her to heal quickly & rejoin together this precious family. Hold each tear that falls in realation to Ash....& turn it into a river of peace.....of hope in YOU....of love....of YOUR presence....& I pray for signs of healing to show today....give this family hope ...in knowing you are in control ...that YOU are protecting Ash...& that this had to happen for a reason.....reveal that to them today in some way....that only YOU can. Oh...father...we pray...we pray...we pray....for healing. We love you & praise you for all that you have done...& for all that you will do in their lives." Amen
I'm not really sure how I found this blog, doesn't matter, but I have sat and read through every post and feel like you are a friend of mine. I've been praying for you and Ashley for about three weeks.
My prayers for you today are for peace, rest, restoration and strengh.
I am so sorry things took such a turn.
Almighty Father, I come to You in fervent prayer especially for little Ashley right now, but also for Trish, Dave, Blake and Allie. I pray for Your perfect will for Ashley. Only You have the power to heal her and we pray that is Your will that You may be glorified through her story. We know You love her and I just pray so for Your continued mercy to be evident in her little life. Give her Your strength to keep up the fight for life.
I pray for Your mighty arms to hold up Trish as she watches over her precious daughter and all that is going on there in the PICU. I pray that you give her Your strength, Your mercy, Your peace in all things, Your undying love, Your courage to face the unknown and the grace to accept whatever happens. Lift her up, Father, as only You can do and let her know in her heart that we will be diligent in praying for her and her family in this situation.
I pray now too, for Dave as he is so far away from his wife and little daughter. This has to be such a burden for him so I do pray for Your abiding love to sustain him during this time, especially right now. Give him the words to tell Blake and Allie and Your protection for their sensitive hearts.
We have become so ingrossed with little Ashley's Story and we feel so deeply for this whole family yet we feel so helpless. We know You are in total control here, Father, and we just trust You in all things. We are just so saddened in the turn of events in the last 12 hours and feel the burden with this family. Renew their spirit, give them hope. I pray all this in the precious name of Jesus.....Amen
