Wednesday Evening at the AMC Spa







Tonight Ashlyn got a head to toe spa, including a hair cut. Since she had the monitors out of her head today we were able to move her more and give her a great wash. The nurses were going to wash her hair and I said lets just shave it off. She looks so pretty with no hair. She was a little more awake today. She opened her eyes and moved both arms and legs. Her neurosurgeon said he is happy with the way everything is going. Happy is a word he has not used before. So of course I am estatic with that news. If she keeps doing well through the night they may extibate her tomorrow.

"How GREAT is our God, SING WITH ME, How GREAT is our God, and all will see how GREAT is our God!"

Thanks for checking in tonight. We love you all!

  4. I just wanted you all to know that we think of you everyday and pray for Ashlyn to make a full recovery. We read your updates daily and look forward to good news. She is such a strong little girl and so is your family. You are very fortunate to have such a loving caring family and support group to help you through this difficult time.

    Ashlyn - you go girl! You are a fighter and I know you will be well again soon! I remember the day not too long ago after you left the hospital, I was outside playing with Riley (we live on Kings Road behind your relatives) and I saw you walk into their back door and a huge smile crossed my face, just to see you made me smile. I've never met you, yet you have a special place in my heart. I can't wait to see you walk through that door again.

    You are in our thoughts and prayers.

  7. Maybe we should all shave our heads and be like Ashlyn (although it won't look as cute on me)! What a mighty God we serve! I'm so thrilled at the progress she's making so quickly. How far Ashlyn has come in just a week, who can deny that God still performs miracles - Thank you Lord! I love you guys - give Ashlyn a good night kiss from me.
    Love, CarolAnn
