Can you believe it's been a month?

Hey everybody, I know you've all been hungry for an update, so I'll cut to the chase:

The docs say she is doing so well, she may get to go home as early as Friday! That's right! She has been getting up more, going on 3-5 walks of increasing length every day, she's been eating more food. She even had a whole hamburger for dinner the other night. So the docs and nurses have been prepping us for transitioning to home; lining up providers, making sure the pharmacy is ready for our prescriptions, training us on how to give her medication at home, recommendations of what to do, what to eat, what not to do, etc, etc.

So, its been an exciting few days and I'm sorry the blog has been a little quiet, but now you know that things are looking up, and that the worst of the storm has passed (God willing). But the docs said in the beginning, "If we can get you through this first month, you are going to start making significant progress in your recovery." And guess where we are? June 23rd was when we went to the ER for the first time. So the docs were right. Almost like they studied for this kind of thing. :)

Anyways, when we know the exact date we get to go home, we'll let you know, but for now, maybe hold off on more packages/cards/etc because we wouldn't want you to send it tomorrow and then we leave before we get it.

Thank you so, so much for all your continued prayers, happy thoughts, support and love throughout this. It has truly been a massive group effort on all of our parts to get Ashley through this, and for that we are eternally grateful. Ashley's still recovering and still having side effects from her medications and some residual pain from her surgery, so continued prayers of relief from those things would be appreciated.

Thanks again, God bless, and have a great day!
