REM Cycle
Being bedridden is certainly taking its toll. Virually every night I dream I'm up and about and doig something. Often I wake up trying to get out of bed or holding out a glass because it is time for a refill as my amazing friends have taking me to Houlihan's for dinner.
The REM Cycle is amazing. It takes so long for you to realize that it is not your reality. It's all a dream. I've decided I want to pack my bags and just move in to my REM Cycle. Is that bad?
On a more serious note. I have a pretty bad cough with congestion. The doctors have tried a couple meds but nothig seems to be helping and the cough intensifies my pain :(
Your prayers are both needed and appreciated!

Ashli,
We will be praying for your cough and congestion to go away!! We're praying that your MD finds a med that takes care of it...thanks for giving us specifics to pray for!
jen e.
praying for you. love you.
I see nothing at all wrong with wanting to move into your REM cycle! It sounds like you're having some pretty good dreams!
As for your reality........I'll be praying very hard that the docs can come up with something to help relieve your cough and congestion. I was thinking about "wishes" the other day, and I wish with all my heart that I could take the pain away for you. You really, really deserve a break. Once again, I love you and I'm praying fervently for you!!
Take Care!

So what is everyone (caretakers) hungry for? And what are you able to eat, Ashli?
Let me know via e-mail or on your blog. Actually if you got it on your blog there could be some good carry-in service.
You have always been on the short list in my prayers (no pun intended). I actually ask for your strength in dealing with my issue.
Congestion and cough.....we really need to work on this one.
See you soon. I love you! Candice

Ashli,
I'm stalking you like an ant stalks a crumb on the ground. My communication to you is going to be CRAZ-E. I feel so privileged that I got to spend a whole night and a whole morning/afternoon with you. You are so beautiful. I just wish I could be there around the clock to wring out your washcloth and make it cooler for you when you need it. I'll be back.
Love you.
Cary
Happy almost birthday!!!!!!!!!
Hey Ashli!
I just have to tell you how touched I was after visiting you yesterday. First, when I turned down your street, I could see all the cars around your house. When I got up to your house I counted 6 cars. You had a house and room full of people. I just think it's just a great testament to how many people love you, and how many lives you've touched. You are such an amazing person and I feel blessed to be your friend. I look forward to seeing you on friday. I love you!!
Love,
Danna
Ashli,
So glad you have so much love around you. Know that there are prayers going up from the pacific northwest for you too...

Ashli,
I've been keeping up with your blog but haven't left a comment before because I've had a difficult time knowing what to say. I should not have let that stop me though. I'm praying for you constantly.

And I know she's smiling now.She's free of pain and suffering. She's forever in Your loving arms.
You are with the Lord now Ashley, You will be very missed. God has bigger plans for you. You are now one of our guardian angels. You made a difference in so many lives and now you will be watching every living thing and making an even bigger difference. We just won't realize who is there. We thank the Lord for blessing us with your time on this earth. You have blessed us all with your courage and will to keep fighting for your precious life.

My heart has ached for Ashli and her family/ friends as I have been updated on her battle with cancer. It's a wonderful vision that Ashli is now cancer-free, dancing with our Father, looking down at us... please know my thoughts and prayers are with your family.
We are deeply sad for your loss. Know that our prayers are with you. Kelly asked me to send the lyrics for the THird Day song, Show Me Your Glory. Here they are...
Love, Scott & Lori Crocker
Lyrics and Music by Mark Lee, Marc Byrd, and Third Day
From the recording: Come Together, Track #3.
I caught a glimpse of Your splendor
In the corner of my eye
The most beautiful thing I've ever seen
And it was like a flash of lightning
Reflected off the sky
And I know I'll never be the same
Show me Your glory
Send down Your presence
I want to see Your face
Show me Your glory
Majesty shines about You
I can't go on without You, Lord
When I climb down the mountain
And get back to my life
I won't settle for ordinary things
I'm gonna follow You forever
And for all of my days
I won't rest 'til I see You again
Show me Your glory
Show me Your glory
I can't live without You
My dear friend. I'm overwhelmed with sadness, and in disbelief that you're gone. However, I'm comforted to know that you are free from pain and in the presence of God. I will cherish the memories that I had with you. I will never forget your sense of humor, it was truly one of a kind. You always brought a smile to my face and made me laugh. You're probably doing the same with the angels right now. You will be truly missed. I love you so much. I'll see you again.
Love,
Danna
In spite of everything that has happened, it's truly unbelievable, still, to me. Just a year ago we were reeling from the shock of the initial news that Ashli had cancer. I am so relieved for her to finally be pain free. I am stil in a state of disbelief, though, as to the fact that she is no longer with us. Ashli was a friend like I have never known. She was so talented and gave so much of herself to so many. I have benefited personally and professionally from her friendship. I thank You,
God, for allowing her to touch my life. I do not pretend to know why this happened, but I do know that I will be forever grateful to Ashli for the love and friendship she gave so freely of to me and to the lives of so very many others. Ashli, you are the most courageous person that I know! Your bright light will shine on in so many ways. I still use all those lessons we planned together, and I will continue to do so for many, many years. Your work will continue to touch students through all of us who you shared your talents with. I will miss you. I will miss you tremendously. I am so glad that you have finally found your "peace." A good and loving God keeps you in His never-tiring arms forever. I love you!
