Only 4/5 more days

Tonight as I was tucking Allie to bed we began to talk about next weekend. It is only 4 more days until I am in Omaha with my little Gherkin and it is only 5 more days until Trish is in Dallas with Allison. We are so excited that the time is so near. Trish is anxious as she has not been away from Ash one time, but I know that she is looking forward to spending some time alone with Allie.

Tonight Ash's feeds were turned off and she was taken down for another CT. She is very uncomfortable and they are checking for a stricture or other bowel obstruction. The bad thing here is the timing. You see no one is available to read the results of the CT until morning and thus Ash's feeds will be left off pending the results of the CT. It seems every time she gets to full feeds and the TPN comes off, it is only a couple of hours until something prevents her being fed. Tonight I pray that not only will she come off TPN, but she will continue to progress on her feeds and that her body would absorb the nutrient from the feeds. Tonight I also pray for Trish as today has been an emotional challenge for her. She longs to be home and we certainly would all love for that to happen sooner rather than later. Thanks for checking on Ash, I am sure Trish will let us all know the plans tomorrow after rounds.

Goodnight,

DAVE
