WOW! Ashley- we are so PROUD of you! THANK YOU for all of your hard work that you are doing to try to get better faster!

Ashley is doing VERY well in all of her therapies! "PT" - Physical Therapy, she continues to walk with side by side support and a walker! Sometimes she speeds up on the therapist, as if wanting to run! In "OT" - Occupational Therapy, she is grasping objects and is improving with both hands! She also raises her right arm to waive and "high-five"! In "SpT" - Speech Therapy, she is doing very well in strengthening her tongue muscles and was able to close her lips around a spoon and swallow pudding! This is HUGE! We can even hear a little of her voice as she tries to make some words!!!!! Thank you Lord, for your continued blessings! We think she may be experiencing a little double vision, so we are patching one eye, and then the other, switching on and off.

Ashley's swallowing test went very well today! Although she was kind of sleepy due to early meds, she was able to show good swallow flow. During therapy, she was given some thickened gatorade in a cup and did very well with that also. She sounded out the ABC's and counted numbers. She waived and said "hello" to the doctors during their visit with her. Ashley also takes her own athletics shoes off, with her feet to start therapy sessions.

When praying after receiving communion, she was able to put her hands together, bring them up to her face and then she closed her eyes to follow our same motions, on her own. That was beautiful to see her do that on her own. Thank you Lord Jesus, for the strength you send to our Ashley everyday. She continues to show a desire to run first before walking! We have to keep up with her! Thank you my King!
Thank you all so much for all your encouraging comments! We love you all!
