From Ashley...Good Day!

"Good evening, Ashley had a good day. Her physical therapist had her sitting with support today for a short time. She brought in a whoopie cushion and Ashley smiled when it made it's special noise. The doctor and physical therapist were betting on whether the therapist could make Ashley laugh; and Ashley made the therapist $10 richer, even though she didn't make an audible sound, she laughed with her whole self. There are many, many steps remaining but we take each step with appreciation and joy. Thanks for your unending prayers of support. Russell, Julie, Ashley, and Katelyn"
