Ashlyn is starting to adjust to life at Sunnyview. She still whines alot when she has to have therapy, especially PT and OT. She likes ST because she gets to eat pudding, as you saw in the previous day. Her ST taught her how to sign "more". So if she wants more pudding she signs "more" and shakes her head yes. She gets so excited to finally eat something! She is doing wonderful with swallowing and it is just a matter of time before she is getting all the nutrition she needs thru her mouth. Yesterday during PT, with lots of support, she walked to me. She put one foot in front of the other and initiated walking. She is making wonderful progress in just the short time she has been there. Each day we see something that she has improved on or see something new that she does.
Last night CarolAnn stayed with Ashlyn so Todd and I could go out for dinner (it was his birthday yesterday) and come home together. Today the rest of the kids are coming up to see Ashlyn. I know she misses them and they miss her.
Thanks for checking in today and thanks for all your prayers for Ashlyn. Have a great Sunday.

Thanks for sharing video of Ashlyn, Thank you LORD for working in Ashlyn's life. Thank you for healing her. We(the whole church) prayed for Ashlyn today. We know God hears our prayers and is answering them. I am glad you both had some time alone together. And got to go home together. Thank you Carolanne for being that blessing for them. We stand with you in prayer always, Ashlyn is going home shortly and will grow better and better each day. Praise the LORD. God Bless the Finn Family. love, Ed and Kathy Skinner
