Yay for Ashley!!

I'm starting to seriously think she might pull through this, folks. Praise God and praise God.

"WOW!! That is the best way to describe today. Ashley had such a wonderful day. Her Grandparents came up and had a great visit talking with her. She talked all day, it is a little after 8:00 p.m. and she wont give up and go to sleep. She is so tired but she is fighting sleep. During physical therapy they stood her up. They had to support her but did great. Katelyn came and saw her, when Katelyn said "Hi" Ashley smiled big and said "Katie" over and over again. So it was worth skipping out of Health and not going to practice today. It didn't take long for the two sisters to have a little spat. Katelyn told Ashley to go to sleep and Ashley said "no" this went on for a little while. They both would laugh. What a wonderful sound. We did move rooms today, we had to move her down one room they are trying to do repairs in ICU and wanted to work in the room Ashley was in, so she moved down a room. They did tell us that if they need the room for a more serious patient, Ashley will get moved down to the 4th floor. But at this time she will stay in ICU. Thank you all from all the Schafer's and Appelgreen's, we are all so overjoyed at the progress Ashley is doing, with all the support and prayers we are ready to keep going. Love ya all, Russ, Julie, Ashley and Katelyn"
