Thursday Morning

The plan for today is to reduce her sedation more so they can extibate her (pull out her breathing tube). She has been very agitated coming out of this. Even after she is off sedation, she may not respond to us much because of her injury. I keep hoping that she will just open her eyes and be fine. I have dreams at night that she is talking to us and we are all so amazed how great she is doing. I pray that that will be reality and not just a dream. She started having bowel sounds this morning, so they will increase her tube feeds after they extibate her. She did have a fever this morning (100.8) so they will do some cultures to see if there is any infection there. Pray that there isn't. God is so good, and as hard as these next few weeks will be, I just believe that she will make a full recovery. Thanks for checking in today.

  1. Good Morning! ...of course I'm checking in! I don't think there is a second of my day I'm not thinking of you all! I'll be praying she does well today when they lower her sedation and that she only keeps showing good improvements!! God will help her through this and I pray that when she wakes up, she looks at you both and knows everything will be fine! You're both such great parents!!
    Keep fighting Ashlyn!!! Love you guys!!
    Love Heather

  2. We wait and wait
    as time goes by
    Hoping and praying
    for just one little sign

    But our loving Father
    Soo faithful and true
    Gave Liz and Todd not one...but "TWO"

    These signs are a symbol of hope
    For all us to praise
    The goodness of God
    Throughout these long days

    We now look forward
    To a glimmer and a smile
    From this one so precious
    Lizzie's baby, Todd's child

    Refreshment of faith
    keeps us "warriors" renewed
    As we wait expecting
    For more "Happy" news

    So press in and go forth
    With fasting and prayer
    Be confident,
    that every need in her body
    Is under my care

    Confusion, anxiety
    is not coming from me
    I'm peace and faith
    And all you can't see

    I'll strengthen you
    Bless you
    Provide all your needs

    While "BELOVED" the "Church"
    Remain on their knees

    Be at peace my dear children
    I come to reveal
    Ashlyn & Jesus
    Have "Secrets' concealed

    For you will remain
    in a state of awe
    As I reveal myself
    during these days...you've endured

    A mist of my spirit
    Will touch your sweet souls
    As I allow you to see
    My Glory Unfold

    I love you,I hear you
    Your Ashlyns,is "MY" care
    Continue in vigilance
    Your courage to bear

    Others will see
    the faith that you harbor
    And many will acknowledge
    MY most powerful father

    From the heart of God.....

  3. I ache when I can't be there..
    But sometimes I can get under feet
    I will continue to do that which God has called
    me to do.

    I will be his catalyst..

    My heart is with you both...
