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.

Thank you, Lord.  May you continue to bless this precious baby and give her strength and healing.


Cat....I'm going to take that news as encouraging and pray that I'm right.

Thanks, Cat....you're a trooper too, Sweetie.  Hang in there.

Much Love,
Jackie

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.

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 Wink

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! Smiley

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 Tongue

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 Smiley 

Oh and Chris - if you think washing your hand with one elbow is hard - wait til I get hold of the other one Tongue  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 Wink

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