Doing Well
We have just made it up from recovery and Ashley is doing well. She is NOT on the ventilator!!!! How blessed I was when I received this news. Everyone expected her to need the support, but He had other things in mind for my sweet girl. She is on 1 liter of oxygen but she looks really good. They were not able to biopsy both of the nodules they were hoping too. They did reach one of the new one that seems to be growing at an alarming rate, but the older ones were surrounded in infection today. It would have been too dangerous to just attempt to find the nodule in the middle of the hazy area. I am thankful for the wisdom they used and I will pray that they will find all that they need with the tissue samples they were able to take. I am so thankful to have this procedure behind us and I am praying it will not need to be repeated. As they removed the needle a small portion of her right lung did collapse but the radiologist was able to work on it with a syringe rather than placing a chest tube. More blessings!
As I walked away from Ash today I took great comfort knowing she had her package of pretzels in hand and her faithful bunnies on her feet. I'm so glad she had all the "comforts of home" with her. The best part of today is that she is back in our room, back in her crib, and soon to be back in my arms. God has been good to us once again.
Tonight we will keep a close eye on her watching for collapse or difficulty breathing, but we are not anticipating problems. I think she looks beautiful and I feel good about the place we are in right now. Now we wait for answers. I have no idea what they will be or where they will lead us, but I am trusting Him and I am thankful for today. Your prayers are so precious to me and I could never thank you appropriately for all you do for us. Just know that my heart overflows with gratitude. God bless you all. Trish

Thank God that is all that has to be said
Trish,
That is wonderful news. The Lord knows and hears the desires of our hearts!!!
I am so thankful she is not on the ventilator!!!! I pray that she sleeps peacefully tonight, as do you. We all look forward and are prayerful, for what tomorrow brings!!
Big sigh of relief. Thank you, Lord, for saying YES to our prayers for Ashley's earthly protection today.... thank you for blessing our hearts with her life. Now, as always, we continue to pray for her complete healing, knowing You have ordained her days and set out her good works, knowing You have the power to heal while knowing Your plan is perfect, knowing You are faithful no matter how scary the storm. Thank you, Lord, for keeping her with us through this day.
Praising God once again with you! I'm so thankful she is not on that nasty ventilator again, (although I'm thankful for that thing when it's needed). Praying continually that the biopsy will turn out great and that our Father's Almighty hand of healing will stay on her. Praying also for you to get some much needed rest, Trish. Please snuggle up for a good nap the first chance you get. Love and Hugs, Grandma
Im so glad to hear that the surgery went well. I hope you both find rest tonight.
Hooray!
I'm trusting with you, and praying for you today :)
Trish:
This is wonderful news. Worth waiting the extra time today for her to come upstairs without the vent. I'll be praying that the results are conclusive and you can put all of this behind you.
Annette and I had a great time with you today, she slept all the way home even when I put her in her crib.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking... maybe Annette can entertain Ashley once you finally make it to your apartment.
Call if you need anything. I'm thinking hair next week, I can drive you and drop you off.

Praise God she is not a vent! I pray tonight you will both sleep peacefully, and that tomorrow will be an even better day! God bless you both! Still praying!
Rejoicing for this update!
You both continue to be in our prayers this night.
Praise God!!! I am so greatful for all that God has done in Ashley's life and all those that Ashley has already touched with her story and her precious little life.
Yay Ashley & Trish! I know Dave will be glad to hear the news that it went well.
Trish, we just got home from marshall,first thing i did was get on computer to see what was going on. All i can say is to God BE THE GLORY. WHAT AN AWESOME GOD WE SERVE. We are going out of town for the weekend to grand praire so to be able to keep up with the sweet gherkin we are going to purchase us a laptop to have with us. I am so very proud she did not have to go on the ventilator , as i said before i work at good shepherd and it is hard on the elderly cant even imagine it on a baby.
YAY! God is good!
You are good, Lord!! So very good!! Praise be to You for this great day! Thank you for Trish and her testimony...even on days when it is hard. Thank you for sweet little Ashley and for her story. It teaches moms like me to hold tighter to our little ones. And Lord, thank you for little comforts like pretzels and bunnies! You provide joys and comforts big and small. We praise you!
Hello! You probably don't remember me, but I have met you through CHEC. This journal is such a blessing to me, in that I can know exactly what is going on with Ash, and more importantly that I can know specifically how to pray for her. Thank you for putting so much time and effort into it!
I am so excited to hear how well Ash is doing today, that the Lord has said YES to our prayers. She holds a special place in my heart and I hope to meet her someday!
God bless both of you and your family, I pray for you daily.
Praise the Lord!

I am so glad that everything went so smoothly today. I will keep you guys in my prayers as you wait for the results.
Praising God for No vent and that she is feeling better. And Praying for those spots to disappear. He is in Control and he wants us to see that he still has his mighty hand in this. Have a good night and hoping for you to get some rest. Will check on you in the morning.
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow! He is GOOD!! I'm so happy to receive your fantastic news!
Praise God for His wonderful love and protection for His children. We are so blessed and we don't even realize it for the most part! Praying that you have a restful night.
I'm so glad to hear that the procedure went well and she doesn't have to be on the vent!! Praise the Lord!! Praying that you each have a restful night. I'll continue to pray for the results also.
Thank you God. Thank you for watching over Ashley. Please bless her rest and physical comfort through tonight. In Jesus name.
