Ashley sitting pretty at one of the bus stops in front of TIRR. Taking a break from her mid-day walk with dad.
Daily David and Ashley take a walk outside around the front of the hospital to get some fresh air. Ashley practices tying her shoes. They have been working on strengthening her grasping with her hands and fingers. She understands what she needs to do at times but has difficulty with strength and sometimes motor planning. It takes a lot of time, repetition and patience to complete one shoe.
Ashley,playing fetch with Jesse the therapy dog as Rachel the Speech therapist stands by and watches Ashley through the ball to Jesse. Every Thursday the patients at TIRR are introduced to these therapy pets and they do different activities. Ashley being a pet lover really enjoys this time with different dog breeds.
On Thursday June 16th we celebrated a Happy 20th Birthday to our friend, Jazmin Wilson, from New Orleans, LA! Jazmin is Ashley's roommate at TIRR. She and her family have been a great blessing to us. Jazmin was riding her motorcycle going home from work when she was hit by a drunk driver this past April. Please pray that she will begin to walk again soon. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAZMIN!
