Good News
She looks great! Still a little weak and requiring some oxygen support, but just look at this sweet baby. I think she looks great. Morning rounds brought more good news. They are going to pull the second chest tube out this afternoon(it is finally as dry as the Sahara!) and then they are moving us out of the hopsital and over to the hotel. Thats good news! She will still require the use of her central line even though there are some problems with it. We discussed our different options and have decided the safest risk(if there is such a thing?) would be to allow it to remain and pray the vein doesn't clot off. It has moved position over the weekend and is now in the smaller subclavian vein running the chance of clotting and losing that access forever, but versus all the other complications and setbacks she could suffer from re-wiring or the OR or removal we have chosen this option. She will be requiring daily lab draws and x-rays through the remainder of this week and then IF everything goes perfectly and all the "ducks" line up then we could be headed home on Sunday. Thats GOOD NEWS!
Ash is still requiring the new formula without any fat and will be for a couple more weeks until the chylothorax completely heals and she will possibly require oxygen support for a little while, but other than that it looks like our little pickle has pulled through again. WOW! When I think of all that the Lord has done in her life it is nothing short of miraculous. Over and over and over again His mercy has been shown, His power has been proven, and His will for her life has continued. Simply amazing.
First thing she did when she opened her eyes at 5:30 this morning was grin ear to ear and hold up her "spiders" as she looked across the room and saw me. I giggled to myself knowing there was no way in the world I could deny that child a round of itsy bitsy spider this morning even though my body was screaming NO because it didn't want to get up.
My weekend home was so full of precious moments and I am going to share them with you this afternoon as soon as I put together some sort of slide show. I just wanted to share our potential good news before I ran to heat up some lunch.

I will be praying that things will keep heading in this direction and that you will be able to return safely on Saturday.

I'm burning a candle for Miss Ashely for her full recovery. She softens my cold, bitter heart; a sign her life is touching others throughout the world. Stay strong!
Fantastic news. She is so precious in her picture. What a pretty girl she is. I'm praying that everything keeps going well and that you guys get to go home next Sunday.

Hi Trish,
This is really great news. I am praying that things keep going forward and Ashley will be home with you all soon. Smiles and itsy bitsy spiders, great combination for healing. Waiting to see the slide show you have for us.
Love you, Laurie in Ca.
How exciting ~ praying for a great week!
Praise, Praise, Praise.
Wow! That is great news!!! Praying that all the ducks line up this week so you can head back to your Home Sweet Home!!
Our God is an AWESOME God. That is all I can say. I am so glad things went as well as they did while you were gone. I hope the positive news from Omaha allowed you to relax and enjoy just being home. I think the break did you as much good as anything. You are recharged if a mother ever can be and ready to take the new exciting week in stride. I am shouting for joy and thanking God in Atlanta today.
Ashley continues to be a shining example of the power of God, the ultimate love of a Father for his child, the absolute result of faith.
So very thrilled to read such wonderful news and see such a beautiful portrait of recovery!
Prayers and hugs...
That truly is such good news! I am looking forward to hearing about your weekend, too :) Prayers for all of you continue... God Bless.
Trish...how has the vomiting been while you have been there? Has it ceased??? I certainly hope so!!!!
She is looking remarkable, and traveling with you on this journey is truly inspiring us all.
Can't wait to hear about your weekend at home!
Great News!!!! I will continue to pray that all goes well and that you are headed back to Texas this weekend. My how God answers prayers. He is amazing!
She really does look great! So happy that she's feeling better. She really seemed to turn around quickly, and I am so thankful for that. I am sure it felt like a lifetime for you, but compared to the last hospitalization, it was quick! What a strong little pickle! And a strong Mommy and Daddy!
That is WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL News!!! I was so excited when I read your post. I have thought about you guys often this weekend. Know that your little pickle is cared about here in Georgia. WAY TO GO ASH!!!
Thank you lord for such a blessing this precious little girl has given my heart. Much Love....Melissa
