Update on Ashley

"Good Evening, Ashley had a good day. She had physical therapy and speech therapy today. She no longer needs to have oxygen on, they caped the trech so she has to breath through her nose and mouth. She seams to have a smile when her daddy asks to see one or when he sings to her. Thanks for all the prayers and support. Love Russ, Julie, Ashley and Katelyn"

But...

"Good Morning, Last night was not a good night for Ashley. We received a call from the nurse about 8:38 p.m. and Ashley was really upset. She was crying and they couldn't get her to calm down. We called Aunt Patty, she is right there in Saginaw and she went down to the hospital. They ended up giving Ashley some morphine, but it wasn't helping much. They had to put her back on the c-pack to help regulate her breathing. Around 11:30 p.m. they gave her more morphine and by 12:00 a.m. she was resting. She slept for about 4 hours. As the time went she started getting upset, so they gave her morphine again, they want her to stay calm, she starts moving around the bed and they don't want her to hurt herself. We don't know what kind of sign this is. If she is starting to get aware of what is going on and she is scared, or what she is thinking. As we have said Day by Day, or even sometimes it is hour by hour. I posted that notice last night and then we got the phone call. I know I have thanked you many times for all your support and prayers, I wish I could do more for you all. The support and prayers is all we have. It is in God's hands so your prayers help so much. Thank you, Julie"

Obviously the fact that she was crying isn't great. But it is rather responsive...so this could be good, in a way.
