Headed for Hawaii ??
The girls made it back to their room around 4:00. I just spoke with Trish and she and Ash are very tired and already going to bed. They didn't sleep much last night. The surgeries both went well and Ash came out sporting a shiny new purple central line. I just can't wait to see it. It sounds kinda girly. Allie is very excited about it because that is her favorite color. They are already feeding her at 10cc and hour. They placed a tube 30cm long into the jejunal portion of Ashley's bowel. We are hoping this will stop the vomiting and allow us to advance feeds enough to get her home. Trish says Ash looks good. Thank you for all of your prayers.
Allie had to choose a state to learn about this year. She wrote a letter to the Hawaii visitor and convention bureau and today she brought home her response. There are several pamphlets and lots of information. When Allie spoke to Trish on the phone tonight she informed us that when Ashley gets home we need to celebrate by going to Hawaii. I certainly do agree with her, I just think she is going to have to get a job so she can help get us there. Funny, last year she was wanting us to take her to Canada.

Hooray for good surgery results!
Thanks for the update, and I'm adding "a free trip to Hawaii for the Adams family" in my prayers for y'all. Why not? You never know! :)
Good night, sweet Trish, I hope you and Ashley get a lot of sleep tonight!
Hey Dave and Trish,
Would Allie settle for Orlando? We have a vacation property there, and I think we would love to share it with you. This is a sincere offer and I will speak to it again when the time is right. You will surely have so many plans when you get everyone home where they belong, but keep it in mind. It is always good to look forward to GREAT times. I am so glad Ash and Trish are having a good night.

Praise GOD! Thank you Dave for posting and letting us know! So thankful everything is okay. Still praying that all goes well with feedings. Praying for the vomiting to cease. Praying Trish and Ashley get well needed rest this evening.
That is just precious about purple being Allie's favorite color! And just LOVE the Hawaii idea! LOL That is just so cute! Well it sure is a nice thought.
Still praying as always. God Bless you all!
Yeah for the Pickle! I'm so pleased that it went well!!!!
When Ashley gets home and you are ready for that vacation, drop us a line. Our home is not large but it's cozy and you all would be more than welcome to stay and enjoy a Hawaiian holiday! If you can get yourselves here, we can take care of the rest.

Thank God that the surgeries went well and praying that both girls get some heavy duty sleep tonight. They sure can use it after this last week.
I continue praying for this to stop the vomiting for her and her bowel continues to heal completely. Bless you Dave for keeping this Fan Club of Love out here informed. We love your family big time. You and the kids at home have a wonderful nights rest too.

Hooay!!!
Tell Allie she's one smart cookie and I'm praying with Sarah for that trip.
Purple is my absolute fav color, too.
Such wonderful news! A purple line, huh? Are they trying to tempt her with pretty colors? Hehe...It sounds as if you can all rest tonight and that is truly a blessing.
Prayers that recovery and an end to the vomiting will be just around the corner.
YEE HAW For successful surgery! Give Trish hugs from TN for me and our crew! Love,

So glad everything went well. Purple is a great color! Praying you have an uneventful and peaceful night.
That is all great news and we continue to pray that Ashley will heal. It is my prayer that Trish is getting some much needed rest tonight and that God is wrapping His loving arms around her and Ashley in Omaha. Thank you for the update and please continue to keep us posted .... I love checking in on this precious family. Allie...Hawaii is a great place to vacation....start saving your money ...it's not cheap!
O Canada! :)
Hawaii sounds great! Colorado is pretty, too, and the Smith's would love to have you any time!
Thankful for a good day, praying for rest and receovery and miracles besides.
Love in Him,

Once again, we give thanks to You, Oh Lord, for the successful surgeries today~~for Your diligent watchcare over little Ashley and Trish during their stay in Omaha.
Thank You, for all the blessings big and small as we pray right now for restful, peaceful sleep for these two after the surgeries so that they can wake in the morning with a refreshed feeling of true rest.
Give Trish the time she needs to heal from unkind words spoken to her and just let her know that we miss her updates and her inspiration, but that we do understand she needs this time to step back and just love on her precious little girl and just communicate with her husband and two sweet children here at home.
Thank you, Dave, for standing in the gap, even during your very busy schedule, for taking the time because you know the prayers of many are with your family.
Let us continue, dear Lord, to surround them with kind words, encouragement, care and love. We honor You Lord and give you the glory in all that You do~~In Jesus Precious Name~~Amen.
Love and prayers~~~Janiece
Mr. Dave,
Glad to see you are letting go and letting God...sometimes it takes a while for some of us to get a grip on that. Once we do, we can handle life better and things finally fall into place. God, The Creator of all things is working through you. Thanks for keeping us updated.
Absolute peace,
VG

This is good news! Know that Ashley and all of your family continue to be in my prayers. Thank you so very much for keeping us updated...this journal and the testimony you share through it is such a blessing. We love you all!
I was having withdrawls from Ashley's site so I just came to check, I am so happy to see your big font of typing. You go Dave! Every word either you or Trish write or so precious to so many of us. It is an honor and a priviledge to pray for your family.
Let's get Ashley home to that great house down the street. Then I know we can get you to some place warm or cold depending or where you guys want to visit. :)
You go Trish for signing off on the right line for Ashley. God often gives a Momma's heart the right answers.
You 5 are all such a blessing.
Just praising the Lord for all the good news. Will of course continue to pray, pray, pray.
And Dave, you write just fine. You'll do, Hun. LOL
Great news! Thanks so much for the updates Dave! Praying Ashley thinks that purple line is so pretty that she leave it alone! :) Praying that Ashley and Trish gets some much needed rest and healing of body and soul. Thanks again Dave! (And you go Allie! Big dreams bring big results!
Oh! And way to go Trish and standing firm about the line! You are one tough Momma! :)
Thanks Dave. Your stength of character and integrity as a man are coming shining through. Trish is blessed to have you! Hope Ashley is able to do well on the feeds this time and can go HOME SOON!! I know that is what Trish and you want more than ANYTHING! right now. To get the family back together. Love and prayers. Judy
I have been away from my computer for several days, and was extremely disheartened when I got to the point where Trish said she was going to stop publishing the blog. I check it every day possible and when I can't I start at the bottom and work my way up. Trish, I am so sorry if someone said or did something to hinder your ministry, and yes that is what it was. It has taught and showed faith, encourgement, strength and the wonderful Grace of God through out. I have said an extra prayer for you especially for God to heal this hurt. I have also thanked God and said an extra prayer for Dave since he has picked up the writings. To not see this through to the Glorious last minute would be like putting a half written book down and not being able to finish reading it. We want to know what wonderful things God has done and we also want to know when to say extra and more specific prayers. I have even placed Ashley on our church prayer list. We are from Longview also. Hang in there. There are more people than you realize standing behind beside and sometimes holding you up than you know.
I'm so glad surgery went well and so grateful for the updates and specific prayer concerns. I continue to pray for healing for all of you and look forward to continued updates when possible.
I'm praising God for the good surgery results. And I was deeply touched that a Daddy's heart was "selfish" enough to continue to update us because he refuses to lose even one prayer for his precious child. What a loving and supportive dad and husband you are, Dave. Prayers indeed continue.
Blessings,
toni
