Another Update

Hi All,

I heard people have been calling. It's been a very busy and trying few weeks. Ashli wanted to blog herself, so that's why we were waiting to update you. . .but I will give you a brief update and she can go into detail later when she has time.

Ashli's doctors at Chicago have decided to stop her treatments for now. They think it was perhaps hindering more than helping. Obviously this means anyone who was supposed to drop off or pickup, you are off the hook for now! =)

For the last few weeks she has been having some serious problems with her back. Last week it all culminated in a trip to the ER b/c she was having problems feeling her legs. They ran some tests at the ER and everything came back "normal". But she is basically paralyzed from the waist down right now. The nurse at the ER couldn't tell us if this was related to the tumor or if the back/leg thing is semi-unrelated and 'may' go away if her back gets better.

Please pray for relief for Ashli's back. The spasms are very painful for her and the immobility is very hard for Anne & Joel since they are the ones primarily helping her now that they are moved in.

Thanks!
