Ashley's Story

She will leave fingerprints all over your heart

2/14/2007

So Tired

Sleep did not come for me. I remember seeing the clock into the early morning hours and then the mid early morning hours and then my Ashley began to scream and growl around 6:00. I held her and tried to comfort her. I have no idea what is going on inside of her, but it can't be good. She is hurting. Screaming, growling, ripping out her hair, grinding her teeth. There are other behaviors I just can't bring myself to type because the reality frightens me so much. We age going in to the OR at 9:30 this morning. To be honest with you I am terrified of what is coming our way. Please pray for my Ashley. Love, Trish

Without ceasing!!

And my prayers are for you, too, Trish, as you carry a burden incredibly heavy, that He will take such tender care of your heart today.

I'm praying that next Valentine's Day, you and your sweet girl are at home, looking back at what will become part of her history, not her present.

Praying for her as she goes under . . .

Ashley's Story has never been about odds. The odds were that she would perish alone in a hospital without notice. The odds were that you would not be able to adopt her. The odds were that she would not receive a transplant in time. The odds were that her story would be known only to your church, family, and a few close friends.

Ashley's Story has been about God, our perfect Savior and the Almighty Creator. He created Ashley, ever single minute detail down to the longest eyelash. You know that.

So cancer is no more a threat to her than the roof of the hospital falling in from the snow. I KNOW that's so much easier for me to say because I'm not living it minute by minute. But that also makes it easier for me to see past the fear and confusion that the enemy fights to put before you as you bravely but wearily carry His light through the halls of that place.

My prayers continue - as do those of a thousand saints with you and especially the Holy Spirit Himself.

I hope you can get good rest while Ashley is in surgery and let us pray her through.

Trish,
We are praying for you! We know Ashley is strong, and so are you! You can both do this. Whatever it is, is not as bad as everything you'd been through already.

Praying for you to feel the power of all the prayers today as you wait this process out and comfort little Ashley.
You are so faithful to keep us all updated even in your darkest moments, know that not a moment goes by that someone out here is not praying for your precious family.
Hope that you get to snuggle in today with your littlest valentine.
