Specific Prayer Request
Hi everyone...Well, I am starting to be able to see the light at th end of the tunnel. That is definitely a good thing; however, it is making me really antsy.
Thanks to everyone who said a prayer for the machine on Monday. It came back up and I was able to get treated.
My mom has just returned and she will be staying with me until we both fly back home next week. That brings up another MAJOR prayer request. We went ahead and booked out tickets today. Please pray that the machine cooperates and we are able to get all treatments between now and next Wednesday. Wednesday will be a big day to pray because we will need to leave straight from treatment to comfortably make our flight.
Also, pray that the time goes by quickly. Right now every single hour seems to be lasting a day. This is really true on weekends. Most of you are thinking, "It must be nice to have a couple days break from treatment." In all actuality, weekends crawl by because those are just days that I am not counting down treatments.
Thanks again for everyone who is supporting me in prayer.

Ashli,
I have kept up on your blog all summer. I have never posted before but feel the need to let you know we are thinking of you and will pray that all goes well. You have been so strong through this whole course of treatment. Look on the bright side, if you were still in Indiana, you may very well be just be starting treatment. In CA, you are in the home stretch.

Glad to hear the machine is up and running. Please tell Perri we say hello, Mom's always make things better. I understand about the days going by so slowly when you just want to get home. I will call you tomorrow morning, sure you want to spend time with your Mom.
You are so close to the end of treatment, I know it's been tough, but you are almost there.
I love you and continue to pray day and night for you.
Oh, quick story for - get out the "story box"
I was at a PartyLite party the other night and some people asked about my new butterfly. I explained the story behind it. Now a whole group of people in Japan, who have never even met you, are keeping you in their thoughts and prayers. Pretty amazing, huh?
Anyway, wanted to let you know that.
God Speed.

Glad to hear you'll have your mom with you now. We're praying for you in this home stretch.
We'll be prayin' hard for you. I'm sure Jesus has heard more prayers this week about the gantry than he ever has :) I'm so happy that your mom is there with you now. Hopefully, that will make the time go by a little faster. I am going to call you tomorrow. Love ya!

Hey Ash--I'm glad I found your blog. The Bethel Connection is alive and well, so I've been keeping somewhat informed but it's so much better to read about events in your own words. It seems like you are working with some of the best doctors out there and I pray that the treatment plan works like crazy. Your wit and spirit are so evident and I will look forward to reading future blogs when you're all through with this!!
With much love,

Hi Ashli,
My name is Kim and I work for the American Cancer Society in Mishawaka. I know Babette Boling and she was telling me about the benefit they are holding for you in Elkhart. I know you are well on your way with treatment but I wanted to let you know that if you ever have any questions about your treatment, your cancer, something your doctor said, etc you can call the American Cancer Society at 1-800-ACS-2345 and a cancer specialist will be there to take your call 24/7 and they can answer any questions you have in PLAIN ENGLISH... so that research you were looking for people to do, they can do for you. Please know that when you get back to Indiana if you ever need anything you can also call our office 574-257-9789 or 866-522-2111 and we'll be happy to help. You are in many thoughts and prayers here.
Sincerely,
Kim
