We are...
... so blessed... so thankful... so encouraged... so optimistic... so tired. It has been a long day. To be honest it has been a long 16 days of hospital stays. It will get longer still, but if we just wake up each day and take it a moment at a time I think we will make it. Dave has gone to find an open couch to sleep on. Ash is awake and fussing in her crib. I am getting ready to rub those tiny feet before retiring to my "favorite" chair to rest. Again I thank you so much for your presence on Ashley's story. We rest tonight knowing that the Father is listening and many are praying.

Matthew 15 v. 28 ,"Then Jesus answered,"Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted." And her daughter was healed from that very hour".

Praying for you all tonight!

This picture is SO SO precious, after the story about her wanting her feet rubbed. I loved seeing this depiction of love.
I came by before retiring for the night. I put a post it note on my bathroom mirror today and when I get up through the night I will pray for precious Ashley as many times as I am up.
I pray you all sleep tonight and the Lord lay's his healing hand on Ashley through the night, this is my prayer.
May you rest in the arms of Jesus tonight.
SO SWEET! I love the picture ~ we are continuing in prayer ~ Sunshine
Praying for a restful and peaceful night and healing night. Lou Ann
All the way my Savior leads me
What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His faithful mercies?
Who through life has been my guide
Heavenly peace, divinest comfort
Ere by faith in Him to dwell
For I know whate'er fall me
Jesus doeth all things well
All of the way my Savior leads me
And He cheers each winding path I tread
Gives me strength for every trial
And He feeds me with the living bread
And though my weary steps may falter
And my soul a-thirst may be
Gushing from a rock before me
Though a spirit joy I see
And all the way my Savior leads me
Oh, the fullness of His love
Perfect rest in me is promised
In my Father's house above
When my spirit clothed immortal
Wings it's flight through the realms of the day
This my song through endless ages
Jesus led me all the way
There has not been one hour for the past few weeks that our family hasn't been thinking of your family and especially Baby Ashley. It seems that I can't get it out of my head. I attend church with your Father & Sisters and I have to say that you all are an amazing family to know. I have followed Ashley's website for about 16 months now. We love this little girl. I can't thank you enough for sharing your journey with your precious little girl. Many tears have been shed and hours on our knees praying for Ashley, Blake, Allison, you & Dave. I have two daughters that are almost 2 & 4 years old. Our youngest was born and developed RSV & was hospitalized over her 1st Christmas, I remember that I was devastated about missing the Holidays with our other daughter & Family. Recently, our 3 1/2 year old was bitten by a mosquito and her legged swelled so large that she developed a joint & bone infection and was hospitalized due to the extent of the infection. She nearly lost her leg. I say all of that to say that, while we were in the hospital only a short time I can't even begin to imagine what you have gone through all of these months. You are a WONDERFUL MOTHER and someone that I can only hope to be like! I have watched you go through so many unbelieveable circumstances and still mantained you testimony and grace. I can only pray that I can be half the mother to my children that you are to yours. Don't ever let anyone make you or Dave second guess yourselves. You two make quite a team! He is an amazing Father to be able to handle all that he has endured. We will continue to lift you all up in prayer, and I pray that someday when Ashley looks back on this journal, that she will see how LOVED she turly is. What a little Miracle! May God Bless and Keep you all Safely in HIS arms. Our thoughts are with you!

PS. Happy Birthday Blake!
Praying for a restful healing night. She's a blessed little girl, and God is holding her in His arms and caring for her. May you all sleep a restful sleep, know that she is prayed for night and day. God bless you.
We are lifting you all up in our prayers. In Jeremiah 29:11 God says that He has a plan for you(Ashley). Plans to prosper you(Ashley) and not harm you (Ashley). Plans to give you(Ashley)hope and a future. God is with you and already knows what tomorrow will bring.
Because He lives, we can face tomorrow.
God Bless,
Pam Rutland
Praying for a restful night for you all. What a sweet picture.
Precious.
You remain in our prayers! God will and is glorified through Ashley and your family.
Praying for you all to get some good rest tonight and for Ashley. ~Chan~
His mercy endures forever....Wow! Why is it we have such a hard time realizing that statement at times. Ashley is such a precious baby and His mercy does endure forever and ever. How precious are those little feet that only He could create. Praying that you and Dave get some much needed rest tonight and that Ashley will continue to show signs of improvement. Praying for the Adams!
STILL PRAYING!!!:)
Trish, you will never know what a blessing your faith is to me and others reading about Ashley. I know that's not your purpose for updating us on Ashley, but I know it's part of God's purpose. Rest in Him.
That picture is precious! Will keep on praying. Hope everyone will get some rest.
........I hope you can feel the arms of Jesus around you tonight and that you are able to get some rest........take care and love your family.........
.........praying in Oregon.......
You are in my thoughts....your story touches my heart each day.
I pray that you have a restful night.
With gentle love,

How absolutely precious! Trish, you and your family are a family of faith. I come to encourage, and I leave blessed by knowing you.
Continuing in prayer and support. Love and hugs!
Continuing to pray...
On my mind and in my prayers...

...continuing to pray for Ashley and all of the Adams family! May God continue to grant you peace that surpasses understanding during this very difficult time. May His mercies, which are new every morning, shower down on you this day! Love, Jackie and Susan Roberts
From the time I heard you were heading back to Omaha, God gave me a peace. Each time I would read something that should be alarming (fever, no urine, possible rejection, etc..) I would pray, and God would gently say "It will be alright". When I read that Ashley was declining and they wanted you to have Dave come, I prayed. As I prayed, the entire time I could feel and hear God saying "I am still here working, just trust me and watch as I do great things". As I read the post yesterday about Ashley's stomach going down some, and how fluid was coming out of her, and all the other positive things happening all I could do is smile and PRAISE GOD!!! God is a God of miracles, Ashley is one of HIS miracles, and HE continues to work. Even though she isn't at a point of going home yet, we can still ALL praise HIM for everything He is doing because no matter how long, hard, or frustrating things might be HE is still working and there are many things to praise HIM about!!!! He has given Ashley HIS strength to walk through this journey... she is a strong girl but not on her own accord... it is HIS strength working through her, and HIS peace working through you, and HIS wisdom working through all involved. BE ENCOURAGED!!!
hang tight.
Awwww...those precious little feet being rubbed by some of the most loving hands they'll ever feel. What a gift. What a servant you are, Trish. Please let us know that you are sleeping, just a little. I know it's the power of Jesus in you that's keeping you going. Truly, the joy of the Lord is your strength! Thanks for posting pictures of Ashley and for taking the time to give such frequent updates. I love that the doctor raised her hands in the air to question what to attribute Ashley's improvements to...we also are lifting our hands in the air in praise! And as someone else has already said, Yes, it is all because of her "Daddy" that she's turned the corner! Our prayers continue...
Love, Martha
Beginning this new day with prayers for Ashleys continued strength and healing, and for your family who keep watch over her. God has his eye on all of you and will guide you through all decisions ahead. She has the cutest little feet and hands(two of my favorite baby parts). May today bring more good news of her body healing from all infection, giving the doctors a clear picture.
Prayers continue here,

You are not alone.

Absolutely beautiful. You and Dave are in the midst of a great miracle in progress. We continue to pray.
I woke up this morning around 4am, and I immediately knew why. I began to pray for Ashley. Even though I didn't comment at that time, I wanted you to know God was still waking up prayer warriors on Ashley's behalf last night.
Still praying this morning!
Trish,
Still praying and letting you know you are not the only one who is blessed. For those of us following your story we too are immensely blessed by Ashley's great story. Looking foward to what God is going to do next through you all.
Allison, NC
Praying that you get some much needed rest. Ashley is in our prayers.
Beautiful photo. Who's the professional photographer?
