Hello everyone!

Ashley had somewhat of a quiet day yesterday during her ST. She continues do well with her swallowing of liquids and some solids. During PT she accomplished two set of stairs up and down. Each set was about 15 steps. She also did very well in kicking the ball to the therapist In OT she worked on putting on dad's t-shirt and did well with assistance. She worked on holding a ball while extending her arms to put it in the basket. She continues to struggle with her right eye. She blinks a lot and seems to have trouble focusing. We think she may feel some irritation or pain because she reaches up to touch her eye. We tried her eyeglasses but she reaches up and removes them so we will be advising the doctor to follow up on this.

Specific prayers are needed for:1. Vision irritability to clear up for her.
2. She maybe able to turn on her vocal sounds for more speech.
3. Independent walking
4. Tolerate eating solids

Ashley was visited by the Reyes family yesterday. We want to thank Henry, Sandy, and their girls Mandy, Cici, Amber & Aliyah Reyes for all their continued prayers. Thank you Henry for your personal gift to Ashley. It caught some of the staff's attention. They ask her so who came to visit you today Ashley? They have been surprised with all the family and friends that have visited Ashley. We tell them that we have a lot of friends and family that love and support Ashley and are praying for her and the medical team everyday. Some of the staff that have seen Ashley are from the Valley. We are very well taken care, everyone is so caring and gives us warms smiles and greetings everyday.

Have a wonderful day!
