No change

Not much of a change for Ashley.  She has been limp and lethargic all day, she barely opens her eyes.  No seizures, no coughing...just lying there with a glazed look.  She was breathing fast (rates of 70 - 80) all day and now her breathing has slowed down a bit.  Not sure if that's a good thing.  She really needs to cough to get that stuff out of her lungs.  The slowed breathing may indicate that she's getting tired.  We'll see.

We were so blessed to have phone calls and visitors today.  I didn't feel alone at all.  Thank you so much for the prayers and the thoughts that come through comments, email and Facebook.  It really is valuable to us.  Alex is so happy to be home from work and able to just stay home for the weekend to be with Ashley.

Will continue to pray for you. I usually sing Emily a good night song with her name in it. She then wants me to sing it with other peoples names in it. She request Ashley's name a lot.
