My life has been absolutely crazy lately with the start of school, Ashley's after school dance practices and performances and now Brad's Fall baseball practice and games I so apologize for not giving my readers an update on the goings on with Ashley. For the most part Ashley is doing fantastically well despite her liver disease and in spite of her liver disease. I can't remember if I posted about her last visit to Shands so I apologize in advance if this is a repeat. As you know Ashley's platelet count has been dropping, well then it will be no surprise to you to learn that her platelet count is still low and even lower than her last report. What will be surprising is that her liver functions seem to be elevating evermore slightly with each lab draw. We aren't sure why. Which is pretty funny. Of course we know why...the kid has liver disease. Really. Anyway. Ashley liver doctor was having knee surgery during our visit to Shands and when her lab results came
Ashley has biliary atresia, a chronic life threatening liver disease. Her disease has no cure, and her only hope for a long life is a transplant. We are trying to raise money for her liver transplant and other medical needs. Because her disease is unpredictable, her medical needs are unpredictable. It is because of this and the fact that we are unable to get life insurance for Ashley that we ask for donations. If you feel it in your heart to donate to Ashley's fund, we will be grateful.
