Title: Chris Morrow & baby Ashley - 4/24 2 pm update
Post by catlind on Apr 21st, 2009 at 7:18pm
Just got off the phone with Chris.  It seems that Ashley is struggling a bit at the moment.  Her bloodwork didn't look great, elevate WBC and low blood gas levels - there seems a good chance the infection is pneumonia - and/or that she still has amniotic fluid in the lungs.

Since Chris works in a lab, he started asked specifics, letting the nurse know he could read the results, and they immediately shut up and won't discuss it further with him at the moment, saying he will have to talk to the doc.

I however, am going to see her tomorrow - and I'll be sure to bring all of clusterville's love with me and we can see her through this with our share of love and support and prayers :)

I've removed my last post :(  :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

I just got off the phone with Chris.  I beg you, every single one of you, Ashley and Sarah and Chris need this families help, they need it RIGHT NOW.

Ashley's lung burst this afternoon.  She wasn't producing enough surfactant and the lungs became hard, bursting one lung.  They have infused steroids to help the remaining lung, and she is in surgery right now as they try to repair her other lung.

Please, I have seen this little angel with my own eyes, she is the most precious little glow of life, she needs every positive thought, every prayer from everyone of us and every one of the connections we possess - she needs every vibe, every ounce of our support and strength.  

Sarah and Chris need us ....  Ashley needs them, and they are fraught with terror and fear.  It falls to us, please, please, please, give everything you have for this dear little one.  She glows something fierce, she is so beautiful.  Let us please do everything we can, use our connected bond to enhance our prayers to help this little one struggle through.

I will use this thread to keep you all updated as Chris keeps me informed.  They have people with them at the hospital, and he has assured me he will keep me posted.  I will likely go to the hospital tomorrow with a meal - a homecooked one, just for Chris and Sarah, so that they at least can feel a contact with us here.  

She is too precious, too beautiful - she took my breath away - pure innocence, potential, wonder, a new life and new eyes to take in the beauty of the world, to find the magic of life and all it holds is yet before her.  I believe in her.  I believe in Chris and Sarah.  I believe we, the family that is clusterville, can make a difference.  She has a guardian angel pin, given to her just this day, that carries with it the very spirit of loving and giving that is this family.

Please, I beg of you all, please, give everything you can to this precious little soul - this beautiful baby girl.  

May all that is divine in this universe smile down upon her and grant her doctors with skilled hands, tenderness, and with the love, strength and support to heal her and may that divinity find in Ashley the most precious gift, and so ensure she is given her chance to make her mark in this world with a long and loving life......

:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

Post by catlind on Apr 22nd, 2009 at 8:28pm
Just got off the phone with Chris.  Ashley is out of surgery.  They had to insert a tube into her chest.  She is on the ventilator to keep the lung inflated, and to help the other lung as well.  They have started her on morphine for a couple of reasons - to help the obvious pain from having an incision into her chest, as well as the discomfort of the ventilator, and also because morphine helps to dilate the blood vessels ensuring good blood flow with good O2.

It's still very early, but the doctors have said the tear in the lung is one that will be able to heal on its own - it would be faster except for the tube in her chest and ventilator - they figure it will take about 3 days for the lung to heal.

I've lit every candle I have in the name of this little angel and for her Mom and Dad.  

I need not say it, but Chris is obviously torn to pieces.  They need us and they need our strength.  Thank you everyone for coming to my call.  Please, let us give everything we can to this family.

I will continue updates as I get them, and I have instructed Chris to call anytime day or night with any updates so that I can pass them all on to you here.

Again, thank you....lets do what we do best, lets get this little angel on earth the power to stay on this earth with her parents and brothers and sisters who love her so much.

Just spoke with Chris again.  For now, they have Ashley resting peacefully, and Chris is just getting Sarah back into bed so she can get some rest.  Don't forget, she had a C Section and is in a great deal of physical pain and emotional pain.  Chris is doing his best to make sure everyone is cared for there, and I'll do everything I can to help them out.  

Lets all keep the juju working through the night so that Ashley's night remains peaceful and healing with nothing but good news to be heard in the morning.

Post by Chris Morrow on Apr 22nd, 2009 at 11:31pm
Hi all! I am touchd and very emotional again after reading this thread. It has been a very difficult day. 4 AM Ashley was responding well, but started to decline throughout the day. She is very peaceful right now and is not in pain. She has a difficult road ahead of her, and we knew that going up to the NICU, but there is no way to prepare for what happened tonight.

Sarah is doing well....she and I just had our first meal of the day. Her pain management is up and down, but she endures.

Things I learned today:
ALL PREMATURE BABIES NEED SURFACTON RIGHT AT BIRTH.

Cat is the most talkative person I have ever met, but if you put a baby in front of her...she hardly speaks.

If Cat says she will get pics...don't count on her remembering a camera.

I have been in pain the past 20 years of my life, and have always endured. I know I will continue to endure and have no doubt  my wife and daughter will as well.

Baby Ashley and Daddy respond very well to O2.

It is hard and painful to wash your hands with a broken elbow.

Sorry to pick on you, Cat, I love you and I am blessed to know you!

Thank you all and I or Cat will keep you posted.

That's the beauty of a clusterhead - they understate everything and can exist through the worst life can throw at them with humor even ;)

When I was at the hospital, Sarah kept given him dirty looks cause he was on the verge of making her laugh - laughing after surgery hurts - so he probably has a few bruises from his antics from where Sarah cuffed him! :)

And in my defense, I was quiet cause that big scary nurse with the beady eyes kept starin at me like I was gonna try and steal the baby away :P

Haven't heard from them yet today, but I will update as soon as I hear anything.

Candles and prayers are going up for you little Ashley, from literally all over the world.  Keep fighting, I saw in you that glow, and that desire to fight and win :)  

Oh and Chris - if you think washing your hand with one elbow is hard - wait til I get hold of the other one :P  Love ya

Just had a message from Chris.  He called about 9:30 a.m. and said that Ashley did ok through the night - they are still keeping a close watch on her.

Sarah however, is now under suspicion of having a blood clot in her lungs from her time on bedrest.  Chris said they were sending her for a CT scan, and he was on his way up to the NICU to be with Ashley.  They are in a holding pattern waiting on test results for everyone now.

I'll keep you posted as I hear any news.

Ok, just got back from the hospital;  Ashley is resting comfortably, no real news as to any changes.  She's a fighter though and is giving it her all.

When I got there I heard the news that they got the results back from Sarah's CT scan and there is no blood clot in her lungs - so there's one problem down.  She's exhausted needless to say, but they are holding their own.

I'll be going back up later this evening to bring them dinner, and I'll let you know updates then, unless I hear anything further in between.

Ok, one chicken parmesan dinner delivered to Mom and Dad - needless to say they seemed glad to have something other than hospital food - of course they hadn't tasted my cooking at that point LOL

Ashley continues to hold her own, she is being kept comfortable.  The waiting game continues.

Sarah however was unable to complete the pulmonary function test they did on her, so there are still no answers as to the issue with her lungs.  They were awaiting test results still when I left.

They were shocked to learn that there are people literally all over the world pulling for them.  I think Sarah is beginning to see the extent to which this 'family' makes sure we take care of our own.

I'm sure Chris will be along with updates at some point.  I'm sure he'll be wanting to decry my crime of trying to poison them ;)

Keep the good juju comin, Ashley and Sarah (and Chris too for his elbow) still need our support.

Just talked briefly to Chris.  They were supposed to release Sarah today, but have decided to keep as they still haven't sorted what is going on there.

Ashley continues to rest comfortably, healing all the while, and Chris said they are waiting on the news from the docs as they checked on her and hopefully it will be good news.

I'll let everyone know as soon as I do.  Keep the juju working please.

Ashley is adorable.  My prayers have been heading your way, all along.

Sarah, it is good to see that Ashley is very fortunate.  She got her good looks from YOU ...  ;)   ;D

Ashley is showng improvement. The docs believe her lung should be sealed tomorrow, and chest tube will come out. She had some visitors today....her big sisters. Katie, my 3 year old, spent time in the same NICU when she was born. It was her first visit back.

Yeah, Chris, I think you should do something about those bags under your eyes.....how bout you close them for awhile and recharge your battery?
I am always amazed by how quickly infants heal. Thrilled that Ashley is doing better! I think I'll keep the vibes and prayers and juju going......seems prudent.

Now, give all those beautiful children a hug and a kiss.......then get rest, wouldja please>???

Breathing a bit easier.......

Cathi :D

It is so hard to see a baby with all those tubes and stuff, but I'm so happy she's doing better.  My family (and my whole church - someone started a prayer lchain) are praying ferverently for your little girl and for strength for both of you.

Thanks Cat for all the updates and for being such a good friend.

Many hugs,
Langa

Heard from Chris, they are sending Sarah home today.

Ashley is doing much better - she is off the vent, and has nothing but a nasal cannula for the O2 now.  If I remember correctly Chris said they would be taking out the chest tube soon.  Apparently they had to take off her the vent because she refused to let it do the work - she insisted on doing it herself ;)

That's our little fighter - no question that she comes from cluster blood :)

I'm sure Chris will update further when he gets the chance!

Chest tube came out today! Ashley may be able to feed as soon as tomorrow.

Only problem now is apnea, but I'm betting it's just from all the stress and changes she's been through.

Thanks for the prayers.

Chris

Thats great news Chris...! Really happy for you and Sarah. :)

Maybe when Ashley is older you can show her all the posts and she can see for herself how many mad old Cluster Headers were praying for her...

Take care

Thank God...may she continue to recover.  Then when she's home, you know we need monthly pics right?  or whenever you want to actually.  I never tire of seeing baby pics.

Hugs,

Chris,

I haven't been posting, but we've been praying.  Not planning to quit now!  The folks at my wife's parents church there in Asheville have been praying for you all too.  Hang in there, and try to get some rest.

Ashley is showing more improvement! She has been able to finally start her feedings and has been placed in a crib, since she is holding her temperature. The apnea has stopped. We are hoping she will be out by next week.

Sarah is still having some breathing issues, but is slowly improving.

Me....not getting much sleep, I'm back at work, and other problems are coming up, but life is great!
