Estimated Delivery

I received an email from Morris Cookbooks regarding Ashley's cookbook, looks like the estimated delivery date for the cookbook is on or before July 7. This has taken a lot longer than I expected but we did run into some issues with the graphics. The cover of the cookbook had to be redone in-house. Which means the graphic department at Morris Cookbooks had to completely redo the cover, which also means that there was a price increase in the production of the cookbooks. Not only did the cover had to be redesigned but one of the tabbed index pages was missing in my original digital images that I sent the team at Morris Press. None of the issues surrounding the cookbook have been Morris' fault, it's been mine or my original graphic designer. Despite all the setbacks in getting this cookbook published, I am positive it will be a beautiful cookbook.

My mom and I have been actively selling the cookbooks so that we can pay off the cost of publishing them; the cost is around $1400. After we make enough to pay off the cost to publish them, the rest of the money made will go directly towards Ashley's medical care and future transplant. If you haven't ordered a cookbook, please do so now. We have lowered the cost of the cookbooks so we can sale more cookbooks. Right now, the cookbooks are $10.95 but after they arrive in July the price will more than likely go back to the original price of $12.00. If you look to the right of this blog there are links on the two different ways you can purchase your cookbook. Please take advantage of the lower price and order your cookbook today. Remember your purchase will help save Ashley's life.

We need to sell about 10 more cookbooks (oops, I mean 50 more cookbooks) to meet our goal of paying off the production costs. Please help us met our goal and order now.

Ashley's Story

“Although Ashley’s liver is failing, she isn’t sick enough to be placed on the liver transplant list. We were told that Ashley would need a new liver by the time she reaches puberty." Ashley was born at the end of July in 1998, but her story doesn’t start there;her story begins when she was just a little peanut in my womb. At 24 weeks gestation we learned we were having a girl, but our little girl had something wrong with her. Imagine sitting in the examining room, and the excitement of learning you are having a girl, then at the same time you hear the silence in the room when something is just not right with the baby. We were told that Ashley possibly had an ovarian cyst. It was normal and not to worry. But something told us it was more than just an ovarian cyst. As soon as Ashley was delivered she struggled to live. The umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck twice, and she was blue. Thankfully the doctor cut the cord immediately and although Ashley was still blue; she was b...

It's been a while. Did you know...

that Ashley was in the hospital  after Thanksgiving and before Christmas?  She had a bleed. She has varices.  Just a little reminder that she is not healthy and has a life threatening liver disease. that we lost our beloved beautiful puppy, Sarge, on January 2.  It was sudden, shocking, and sad.  We think he had leukemia based on his symptoms.  Not sure if we will ever get another dog.  Sarge was one of a kind and a perfect fit for our laid back, drama free family. that Ashley made the Principal's Honor Roll her 1st Semester of high school while taking all honors courses.  She is beautiful and smart. that Ashley is still dancing for her high school dance team minus a solo this year. She loves being part of the team but really misses competing in her favorite style of dance, lyrical/contemporary. that after a couple years of not having a dance studio to call home.  We think we may have finally found just the place.  Maybe som...

All About Ashley - Dance, Liver, Life.

Ashley has been busy this year with dance.  She is simply amazing and has grown so much as a dancer this year. I am very proud of her.  Each year as Ashley continues to dance, it has become increasingly hard to pay for her love of dance.  However, some how by the grace of God we are able to continue to support her talent and love. I mean really how can you possibly say no to this. and this... and of course this.... and this too.... Amazing isn't she? Remarkably or miraculously dance seems to be what is keeping Ashley so healthy.  Her doctors are in firm belief that her dance is providing her with healing powers that they just don't have.  Ashley's liver disease is stable after 13 years of fighting this beast called biliary atresia.   Note: I said stable not cured.  Her liver function appears to be normal...for now.  The only issue we are dealing with is Ashley's platelet count is continuing to drop.  A...
