Ashley's Story

She will leave fingerprints all over your heart

Play ball!


This is her new favorite toy. NO baby dolls, no blocks, no tea parties for our girl. Give her a baseball and let the fun begin. As you might imagine it puts a huge smile on our Blake's face. She's such a silly girl!

We received a call from our transplant team this afternoon. Somethings up with Ash's blood work. They were concerned because her "BUN is dangerously high and her sodium is dangerously low". Not words you want to hear when speaking of Ashley Kate. The funny thing is that she looks better than she ever has. We had no idea anything was up with her. She is happy, playful, and full of energy. So tonight we are running a normal saline bolus here at home in hopes that things will straighten out without having to make trip to the hospital. At the moment she is throwing the baseball with her Nan and shows no signs of dehydration or trouble. She's not vomiting, not stooling out, not anything. She's just happy. We plan on drawing labs Sunday morning to see if this did the trick. If not decisions will be made at that point.

Outside of this little fluid issue things have been going pretty well. Her FK and Coumidin levels are a little out of whack so we have been playing with the doses. Her liver enzymes are acting up a little too. It always makes us nervous to hear from the team, but hopefully none of these little issues will cause her to have to spend anymore time away from home. She just looks so great and we are so grateful for each and every good day He gives to her.
