Please Pray, Again.
things went from a little bad to a whole lot worse as the morning hours continued on. I don't have a lot of details or direction just yet. Ashleys left lung is either completely collapsed or encased in fluid. The x-ray shows a "white out". They have done an ultra sound but of course the tech will not tell me a thing. I told her she doesn't have to. I have been her before with Ash and I can see the fluid. They are talking ventialtor, I am praying for it not to happen. She is on 12 liters of oxygen and still struggling. We have moved into the PICU once again. Remember long ago when I shared how quickly Dave and I have learned to be thankful for our blessings? They can slip away just as soon as they show up.
I think they would like to tap into her lung and drain the fluid. I am having a hard time giving consent for anything like that. She came so close to dying at the last attempt that I'm not ready to let them try again. The team is getting ready to round so I will let everyone know something as soon as I can.
I hope you guys are out there today. Your prayers are so appreciated. Trish

Here and praying.

The prayers are coming your way. I read the blog early this AM and was so excited on the news, " No Rejection". I just got home from church and was shocked on the news. Just remember God is watching over you and your Gherkin and he can and will bring you thru this set back. Hang in there Trish! Prayers are being sent your way!!
Oh Trish, I am praying with all of my heart right now!!
Prayers and hugs,
Lisa
PRAYING!
This is so difficult to understand, but I know that Jesus is with you. In His mercy, He is sharing your pain. May His love touch Ashley and your entire family. I also pray that Ashley finds physical comfort.
I am SO here Trish, just walked in the door from church to check on Ashley and was shocked at the turna around. My children and I just gathered in prayer for Ashley. I know God is listening.
I will be checking often and praying all day long frequently.
You are loved so much.

Praying for sweet Ashley.
Ashley and you are all in our prayers. Just remember that God is in control!

We are praying here in Atlanta too! You are not alone through this trial- the saints are joining in from all around to lift your needs before the throne.....
Cristy
From Coast to Coast, we are asking for Divine Intervention ... we need a miracle and I believe in miracles!
I just got home from church and came to check on Ashley since I didn't get to before church to see how her night went.
You have VERY FAITHFUL prayer warriors out here! God has raised up an army of intercessors for your whole family and the Lord lays on our hearts it even seems at all hours of the day and night.
God is aware of this current situation and even though the enemy wants it to seem that you are taking one step forward and three steps backwards, that just is not true! We know that NO WEAPON formed against Ashley or your family WILL PROSPER in the name of JESUS! (Isaiah 54:17)
I am getting off of here and going to prayer right now.
We are with you in spirit Trish. May you feel our prayers uplifting you at scary times like this.
And may the Lord give you wisdom and understanding in the next few hours (Proverbs 2:6)
Love, prayers and hugs,
Cheryl
Those hours of "not knowing" are the most torturous. Been there. You are in my prayers. {{hugs}}
I woke up out of a sound sleep at 4:30 AM this morning with concern for Ashley, knowing I needed to pray for her. I am not understanding God's hand here, but surely I am trusting His heart and know that He holds you all close in His tenderest care. How I pray for complete healing for Ashley. I want to meet her & I want to meet you. I want your family to know how special you are. Until that time, I just keep lifting you up in prayer.
Love, Martha
I will pray for Ashley and for wisdom & discernment as you have to make decisions about her care.
We are here and Praying today.
Praying for all of you, and that if Dave needs to fly up there things work seemlessly for him and the kids.

Praying without ceasing! Love, Grandma
Im here, and I am praying!
Praying for you and for Ashley.
Trish,
I'm praying that you will have the insight you need AND the reassurance from God you need to make the necessary and best decision for Ashley today. Remember that whether you and Ashley's medical team decide to take an invasive approach or not, she is securely in the arms of the Savior. She is right this moment and she will always be. Praying for your mother's heart and for your sweet, sweet child.
Blessings,
~Toni~
We are praying!

out here in Tomball, TX and praying!
We're out here, dear Trish, and praying always. May God hold you and Ashley and all your family very close today.
Prayers are soaring to surround Sweet Ashley. May God hold her tight and bring her safely and of this obstacle. God Bless
We are out here praying for your sweet little Ashley!
We are here for you! Praying for your sweet little Ashley. She's got the fight of a lion in her!
Oh my- what a rollercoster for you..... And just when things were starting to sound more positive.
Thinking of you today-
Megan
we are praying!!!!!!!!!!!! Sunshine
Trish ~ you said in your post that the blessings can slip away as quickly as they come. Honey... you still have the blessing of the bowel not being in rejection, that hasn't gone away. Yes, another bump in the road has come, and those are very hard to deal with, but remember that you haven't lost any of the blessings that God has given to you. He is holding her in the palm of HIS hand and very close to his heart. He loves her so very much, and He loves you so very much also. I pray that you will feel HIS presence very strong, and HIS wisdom right now during this difficult time.
We are here and praying! (((hugs))) ~Chan~

Mom is here for you Trish!!! My tears are flowing down my face but my prayers are heaven bound. Father please give my baby girl your peace as she cares for her baby girl. How I wish I could do more for you baby, I can't take the hurt away so I shall leave you both in the Father's arms which is the best place for you. I love you both with all my heart. Call if you need to sound off, I won't say a word if you just need a listening ear. Oh, Holy Spirit give Trish comfort in this time of need. In Christ Name we seek you oh Lord. Nan
I'm here and praying for your little Ashley.
I am here and praying, too!
Shari
Out here and praying specifics. Whatever care becomes necessary for Ashley, GOD ALONE will determmine the outcome. Please tell us if the "puncture" is decided so we can all pray together for Him to guide the surgeons hands carefully away from any delicate areas. (And of course with Ashley, they ALL are delicate areas.) Just keep holding on to Jesus as he holds Ashley - and we'll continue to pray. God can do this.
Just another quick thought. It may seem more quiet there on the weekends, but while everything slows down there on the weekends is probably when there are even MORE of us out here able to check up on Ashley!
Praying for sweet Ash.....Also hoping that the fluid will drain without intervention or vent. That she will breathe on her own without the need for oxygen as such high levels. Praying.... Praying....Not saying Amen....this prayer continues....
SO MANY OF US OUT HERE ARE WITH YOU! ALL OUR PRAYERS!
Trish - we ARE here! I have already checked on her so many times today. I am praying now:
Most Graciously, Heavenly Father - thank You, Lord for this little angel. Thank You Lord that she is in a hospital that can so quickly tend to any needs that arise, such as this need. Father, only You know what your precious child has endured. Father, only You know what it will take to get the fluid out of her lungs and to correct any and all problems with her lung. Father, I thank You for your infinite wisdom and I pray Lord that You will give the doctors and nurses Your wisdom to know how to deal with her lung. Father, please heal her little body. Lord, I also pray for Trish. Please help her to know what she needs to consent to and give her Your comfort and peace to know that she has consented to the right procedure. Father, please help Trish to hear Your voice loud and clear so there will be no confusion as to what she is to consent to. Father, please continue to keep Your loving arms wrapped around her. Please let her actually feel You hold her. Father, please let Ashley feel Your arms of love holding her tightly. Lord, I pray that You will remind Trish that You love Ashley even more than she does and that when she hurts, You hurt. I ask all of these things in Your precious Son's Holy Name- Amen
Trish - continuing to pray you through this. Hold tight to Him. He is the ONLY one that can give you what you need right now.
In Christ,
Amy
I'm late checking in today, but will pray immediately!
Praying for you in this roller coaster time. I pray she'll get better quick and you wont even have to make any hard decision. May God just take care of it like we all know He can.
Before coming to check for an update concerning the earlier post, I knew that I had to A S A P... Always say a prayer.. for uplifting news.Will check again later while continuing to lift your little pickle to the Lord in prayer. God Bless.
Yesterday I was so happy to finally comment knowing just what to say, "Thank-you Father!" Today, I write and hit back space only to do it again. I have no words only that the Holy Spirit would use my "not knowing what to say" and interpret that to Jesus for healing for your precious daughter.
Praying that her fever has gone down and that Ashley is resting comfortably. Praying for God's healing in her precious little body. Trish, remember many believers are lifting Ashley up in constant prayer. We have all come to love and pray for God's special little pickle.
Praying...
We are here. We are praying.

Just a song I want to share with you - I want to send you a CD so can personally listen to it and be comforted. But for now, I will give you words. You may have heard this but I love music and can listen to it over and over again and STILL it brings a smile to my heart. Phillips, Craig and Dean, You Are God Alone:
You are not a God
created by human hands.
You are not a God
dependant on any mortal man.
You are not a God
in need of anything we can give.
By Your plan, thats just the way it is.
Chorus:
You are God alone,
From before time began-
You were on Your throne
Your are God alone.
And right now
in the good times and bad
You are on Your throne
You are God alone!
You're the only God
whose power none can contend.
You're the only God
whose name and praise will never end.
You're the only God
who's worthy of everything we can give.
YOU ARE GOD AND THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS!! (My favorite part)
Chorus:
You are God alone,
From before time began-
You were on Your throne
Your are God alone.
And right now
in the good times and bad
You are on Your throne
You are God alone!
Bridge:
Unchangeable
Unshakable
Unstoppable
Thats what You are!
Chorus:
You are God alone,
From before time began-
You were on Your throne
Your are God alone.
And right now
in the good times and bad
You are on Your throne
You are God alone!
I hope you don't mind me sharing this with you. It's just that God always comforts me with His music! This song is so true. I hope that it brings you some type of comfort right now.
Continuing to pray, friend!

I have been reading your blog a long time...meaning praying a long time.. so I won't give up...
embracing you all with His precious love ...
Hang in there our little Ash...
praying for God's strength...
Trish,
Always out here and always praying for you and Ashley. God is steadfast and does not leave or forsake us. Trusting Him to see her through this set back and for you to be able to hold onto Hope and have peace. I have learned in Ashleys situation to not stop praying when she comes to my mind. Trust and hope Trish, you are being lifted up. Hold on, help is coming.
Laurie in Ca.
Praying fervently for your precious little girl!
....Trish, we are here honey....
....we are praying fervently....
....also, remember, dear sweet one, you haven't lost the blessing of her rejection.......I love you honey and storming the gates of heaven on your behalf......may Jesus hold you tight during this bump......
As I reached my hands out to the image of Ashley on my computer screen, praying to God for her healing...praying that her little fingers might touch the hem of His robe so that she may be healed I wept. But I also rejoiced that our loving Father could place such an incredibly loving, faithful, prayerful, and merciful mother by Ashley's side during this difficult struggle that she faces.
I don't just pray for Ashley, Trish. I pray for you, and the doctors and nurses who determine her physical care. I pray for your husband and your other children.
May you feel the grace and strength, and the embrace of God around you and Ashley tonight.
Prayers always...
I'm speechless...but full of prayers. Just want you to know that we are here. We'll be here thru the night...we'll be waking during the night as He leads each one of us.
I have so many questions here on Earth...but Iknow that Jesus has called each of us by name. When he knows the number of hairs on our heads, how much more intimately He knows each one of us...
Father, we pray for Your will. We pray for Your direction. We pray that this precious child receive release from her hurts...we pray that you heal every cell in her body. We lift up Trish...we ask that you give her Your Perfect Peace. We pray that you fill her mind and soul with Your word, Your promises, and Your direction. Amen
Kristi in Texas
