Finally
Its 2a.m. and we finally got an IV going. Her veins are so tiny. She's tired. We are too. Dave just left for home because he has to be up in 3 hours for a meeting before work. Ash is trembling and nauseated. Her fever is back (102.7) and we are trying to get her settled back down. Her kidneys are still shut down with little to no output. If they don't kick in soon then they may transfer us out. Dallas or Omaha? We used to have a doctor in Dallas but I have no idea if they would take her as a patient. We disagree on scopes being done on her new intestine. I feel as though we would end up in Omaha. Please pray for her. She had 5 really good months(outside of chemo yuckies) and we were so grateful for the normalcy in her life. At the same time her health is a fragile thing and we are aware that things can change in a matter of hours.
Ash is scared. I can see the fear in her eyes. Blake and Allie are scared too. To be honest I'm scared. If we have to leave for Omaha or even Dallas I'm not sure how they will handle it. They have been so strong, but they are kids and their understanding is limited. Please, please pray.

Lord we pray to you to heal little Ashley.....to show the doctors what is causing her fever and to calm the fear in her loved ones hearts as only you can do...
My heart is breaking for you - this must be so scarey. All I can say is I'm praying, and trusting in God to hold you close and be there in the midst of the worry and fear. Hugs x
Always checking on and praying for Ashley and your family. Praying for Ashley's kidney function to return and her fever to subside. Asking the Lord to reassure, strengthen, and guide you today.

Ashley has been in my prayers for the last couple of days! I am no praying for her feer to break and her kidney function to return without a trip to Omaha! May God's grace just continue to pour over you during this great time of struggle fo all of you!
please know im praying.
Praying, Trish. Your sweet Ashley is so dear to my heart, and I am grateful every day that you have given me a chance to get to know her and love her and uphold her in prayer before God. May the Lord grant you all his perfect peace. Much love in Christ...
I'm near Dallas. So you'll have a friend praying nearby. Praying she perks up and doesn't have to go to either.
On the bright side - when nothing goes in, nothing will come out. Now that she can get some fluids, there will be fluids to come out of her kidneys.
I pray that God lifts you up - Ashley, Dave, and you and your entire family. That He roots you in His love, His security, and that He kisses your tear stained cheeks. He loves you so much - you all are such a testimony to walking with God through storms! Thank you for taking the time to update and let us know how to best pray for you! Sunshine
I'm praying.
Still on my knees...

I haven't had a computer for 2 days, but talking to Mom yesterday, Ashley didn't sound so good. Please know that we are praying and let us know if you need anything. If we have it or can do it, it's yours. Please give Ashley our love and just cling to Jesus and memories of all of her fight so far. I wish I could take the pain for you, even if only for a little while.
Praying for Ashley and your family.
Still praying for that sweet pickle! My heart is breaking for your precious family! Take care and God Bless!

I wanted to let you know that I will be praying for you...along with a group of my friends...at 2:00pm Pacific time today. You are in our thoughts today.
Father,
Please make it apparent to the Doctor's what is going on in Ashleys body. Please place your protection on this family right now. Instead of fear give Trish a peace and continued wisdom for clarity in how to deal with decisions father. Calm Ashley so she may feel her mommy's love and security. Calm Blake and Allie so they may know it is you in control and not chaos. Be with Dave Father as he has to be away for a time, keep him safe and aware.
Lord we know this is serious so we ask that you would intervien and be apparant to this family right now.
Always praying. God is able! More than able!
Our prayers are lifted heavenward for dear Ashley and your family...
I already commented, but I just had to drop by again to let you know that Ashley has been on my heart all day. Still praying...
Lord,
Hold this little one, Ashley close to you. Wake up her kidneys, calm her body. Lord, we I ask that you restore Ashely to perfect health in the Name of Jesus Christ. I also pray your comfort, peace and strength on Ashely's family. Bless them each one Lord. AMEN.
I have been thinking and praying for you all day. I pray she is doing fine now. Love, Pam

"Love her Like Jesus"
You're holding her hand, you're straining for words
You trying to make - sense of it all
She's desperate for hope, darkness clouding her view
She's looking to you
Just love her like Jesus, carry her to Him
His yoke is easy, His burden is light
You don't need the answers to all of life's questions
Just know that He loves her and stay by her side
Love her like Jesus
Love her like Jesus
We love you guys and are staying by your side loving you like Jesus and praying/carrying you to Him...He will see you through! Sorry we haven't been posting but know that you are always on our hearts and minds!
Father we just pray for your healing hands to touch Ashley's body. We pray for wisdom for the doctors as they try to make decisions on treatment to help her. We pray for strength for the family as they struggle with the emotions of seeing their child, sister, grandaughter, niece, cousin, friend in such terrible pain. We pray that You would help Ashley's pain level to cease so that she can get much needed rest. We pray that her IV will stay so that she doesn't have to endure any more needles and so that her kidneys can begin to function again. Thank You for the miracle she is and for all the blessings You have provided for her and her family and for those of us tracking her story. You are awesome! We trust in You and in all You do. You never said it would be easy - only that it would be worth it...We praise You for who You are and all You do. In Your Precious Name I Pray, Amen.
