Today has been a good day. When Ashley got up this morning, she felt pretty good. Her breathing was ok. Her stomach was ok. She took a nice hot bath and worked on her crafts for a little while. This afternoon, she felt good enough for us to run to the store and to the library. Tonight she played with her brothers. It was so nice to see her have enough energy to talk and interact with them.

Her appetite was fair today. She was able to eat some soup in the mid-morning. Tonight she ate some yogurt and a little more soup and even tried some popcorn. It was so great to see her eat!! (0: She is super excited for tomorrow. We decided to put up our Christmas decorations early this year, per her request. (0: We took out all the Christmas things and lined them across the living room. That will be our project tomorrow. I do hope it makes her days happier to fill our home with the beautiful decorations. It is such a special time of year. It makes me so sad to think this will most likely be her last Christmas with us. But I won't dwell on that.

I have had several people ask me for a run down on Ashley's various defects and how we actually got to this point. I will write more on that tomorrow. She has such a complicated history. Yikes, it would take forever to explain everything. Ha ha ha! She is our little miracle child in so many ways.

We send out our love to everyone tonight! Hoping all those who are sick get well soon!! Hang in there my wonderful family!! (0:
