Tuesday
Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy came by today and showed Todd some things to do with Ashlyn. They said to have her sit up and have her hold her head up and straight. Which she does pretty good. So we will try to get her up 3-5 times a day and have her sit and hold her head and look to the right. She favors looking to the left. When I told her to turn her head toward me (I was on her right) she tried hard and did it a little. She is now up to her max with her tube feeds and has not thrown up. So we are hopeful that she is done with throwing up. There is still talk of putting a tube in her belly for food. The Attending Dr. told us that he will talk to Sunnyview and see if they will make an exception for her since she has been through so many surgeries. We would rather her not have it, but if Sunnyview insists then we will have no choice. She will more than likely be starting aspirin either today or tomorrow. This will thin her blood and help her heart. She has been sleeping better at night, which is wonderful for Todd. He doesn't have to worry about her as much when she is sleeping good. Overall she is still moving forward and we are thankful for that. The road ahead will be long and hard, but with the strength of the Lord, we will get through.

Sorry we didn't make it to the hospital today, I will be there tomorrow, along with Carol Ann. Today was a good day and we thank God for all He has done with Ashlyn and also it's good to hear Todd can sleep easier at nite. You both are such good and loving parents and I'm so glad that God never lets go!

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, nor will the flame burn you."
ReplyDeleteIsaiah 43:2
Yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform."
Romans 4:20-21
That by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us. This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil, where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek."
Hebrews 6:18-20
