Shands Children's Hospital Tommorrow

Ashley and I leave for Gainesville, Florida tomorrow; her appointment at the Liver Clinic is at 1:30 pm. It takes about 2 1/2 hours to get to Gainesville from our house so we will probably leave here no later than 10 am. That will give us plenty of time to stop at Ashley's favorite restaurant to eat while we are in Gainesville, T.G.I. Friday's. The restaurant is only 10 minutes from the Liver Clinic so it's in a perfect location.

We aren't sure when we will be back home. I am pretty sure Ashley will have labs drawn while we are there and possibly an ultrasound. We will not know what tests are needed until after Ashley is examined by the doc. I really hope we are home by dinner time Monday night but just in case we have to be back at Shands on Tuesday, we are packing an overnight bag and staying at the Holiday Inn.

I will update tomorrow after Ashley's appointment at the Liver Clinic. Please pray that Ashley's appointment/exam goes well and we arrive home safe and sound tomorrow night.

God Bless, Laurie

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...
