Tropical Storm Fay

The kids first week of school ended up being just one day thanks to Tropical Storm Fay. We have endured more rain and wind in the last 4 days that I have forgotten what sunshine looks and feels like. Unfortunately, just because the kids are out of school doesn't mean that Joey and I are out of work. However, the kids had fun spending two days at the Deery house. I would share pictures with you but I haven't asked permission to share them. But the kids had fun playing Twister, Apples to Apples, Chess and watching movies. Brad even sat through a showing of the Notebook, which he admitted was a very good movie.

As I look out my kitchen window, the weather seems to be improving the rain is just a drizzle and the wind is calmer. Our neighborhood has a few tree branches down and mild flooding in some low lying areas but nothing major. We never lost power thank God but I am so ready for the rain to go away. We have tried dancing to "Rain Rain Go Away" but that didn't work. Hopefully, the "sun will come out tomorrow."

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

In great Ashley fashion, she did very well with her trip to the hospital and recovered well from the procedure. Right now, Ashley is off with her Grammie getting spoiled by shopping. With no one in the house but me and the pets, I am off to my own devices which usually means I have to much time to think, to research, to worry, to vent, to hope and to pray. Today Ashley had a broncioscope to find out why she has been coughing for six months. After getting up at 4:30 am and at the hospital at 6 am, the scope began at approximately 7:30 am. The procedure itself took less than 30 minutes. The outcome of the procedure left me with more questions than answers. We do know why Ashley is coughing, Ashley has a vocal cord dysfunction, enlarged adnenoids and tonsils. Finding out why Ashley is coughing is good news, however, we also learned that Ashley may have other issues involving her lungs. There was 60mL of fluid in her lungs. Some samples of her lungs were sent for a cell count, bacterial cu
