Hello everyone!
We wanted to share Ashley's weekend update with you! Ashley continues to show us God's amazing love everyday. She has been doing well in her therapy sessions. Friday afternoon she was surprised to see Javi, Sonia, Annie Badillo & Cynthia Granado. The big smile on her face told us she knew who they were. While sitting, she crossed from one leg to another without demonstration. She also showed how strong she can walk with assistance. They are very excited for Ashley. She was also surprised on Saturday when more family members came in! My two brothers with family, my sister with her family & my parents. She looked to each one as we called their name. What a blessing Ashley has done for our family. We were able to take one big family picture.
During the afternoon she was also visited by good friends Jaime Salinas, who brought a message from his wife YvONnE who had already visited Ashley twice before. She was also surprised by dear friend Dorina Caceres & her daughter Natalie also and Yvonne Saenz & her daughter Jasmine!
On Sunday we started our morning like every morning thanking the Lord for a blessed evening and strength for the day ahead that He has given us. Ashley received communion in the room. We later got ready for 3:30pm Mass here, within the hospital at St. John's Hall. Also joining us were my parents, my brother, Julian and my sister in law, Aida. Again Ashley did very well in Mass and looked beautiful with her long colored nails and hair up in a high pony tail with new silver earrings.
After Mass, we showed my family the hospital and went to eat at the cafe. Once we were back in Ashley's room, we found a big surprise! Ashley's school friends Edelicia & Frankie Garcia & parents along with Samantha Cantu & her brother and parents. It was good for all us to have seen so many familiar friendly faces!
Thank you all for your thoughtfulness kind words and gifts for Ashley. David and I later went to the grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes. What a beautiful, peaceful and holy ground. As we walked together, we could feel our holy mother all around us letting us know that we were not to worry and that she is taking care of our daughter, Ashley. Thank you for your continued prayers for Ashley.!
Love,

Hey Ashley sounds like you had a great weekend.. We are happy you saw so many friends and family. I'm sure you had a blast with your friends. I'm sorry we have not been out to see you. Ayssa has been keeping us very busy with her practices/tournaments, i'm sure you understand but that does not mean we don't have you in our thoughts. See you soon, Until then we will continue to have you in our thoughts and prayers.

Everything is possible for him who believes.
The pleasure was ours. To be witnesses of the great miracle God performed on Ashley was a true blessing for us. Ashley's will to get better is tremendous. She showed us she could cross her legs, walk, wink her eyes, wow! She is a true fighter! Go Ashley! We will see you soon back home.
