Ashley had a rather restless night and in the past day we noticed that her left arm was getting swollen. So we took a quick trip to the Day Hospital of CMH. After consulting with Dr. Morgan we decided to cut back her TPN and up the dose of her Fentanyl. Dr. Morgan also commented that she didn’t hear breaths out of the left side of her lung. The left side is where the tumor is and the tumor is what seems to be distrupting circulation, thus the swelling of her arm. So we’re back home now and hoping to see a happier, more comfortable Ashley in the next 24 hours or so.

Such a beautiful girl. I always think of Ashley and Abigail with their matching purple blankies that first time they roomed together.

Thanks so much for updating even though I know its probably so hard.

Positive thoughts, hugs, and strength to all of you.
Love you guys!

I hope that both Ashley and all of you feel more comfortable with the change in medication. We are thinking of you during this hard time.
