Tuesday Morning Update

Ashlie is doing great this morning!  She is still in good spirits, and her liver function is still moving in the right direction!  Her kidney function has remained about the same, but the nephrologist is not alarmed yet.  Please continue to pray for her kidney function to improve.  They are starting to give her anti-rejection medication, and it will be a process over the next week to get the right dose adjusted for her body, so pray for this process.  These medicines are making her itch some which is normal but uncomfortable. 

The doctors are still not letting her eat or drink for another couple of days because of a few stitches they had to put in her stomach which is proving to be a challenge for Ash.  Like my mom has said, we have begged and pleaded for her to eat and drink for 5 weeks, and now that is all Ashlie can think about when she can't have anything!  All that said, please pray for her comfort!

Thanks so much for all of the prayers and support- she received many cards and packages this morning that we figure must have been stashed in the mailroom over the holidays which was fun for her.  The address that is on the right side of the blog is still the accurate address- she moved right back in after her brief stay at the ICU.  We are so grateful for all of you and your never-ending kindness!
