Journal Entry for January 15, 2008 Mood
Tuesday, January 15, 2008

Hope everyone is having a good evening.

I have an Ashlee update and need some extra prayers. The family met with the surgeon a few days ago. I guess the cancer is as small as it will get so they are going to wait till she is stronger after her latest round of chemo (she got pretty sick). They will go in and it will be an all day operation to remove the cancer in her shoulder. They want a good half inch clearing around it. The tricky part is getting it out without damage to the nerves to her arm. There is a 50/50 chance my 12 year old niece could lose her arm. We won't know anything till they go in. Then they will do radiation. And because they will be near her breasts there is a good chance later down the road she will develop breast cancer. Gezzz, if everything else isn't enough for the poor young thing.

Computer is running so slow tonight. I hope to finish catching up with everyone tomorrow. Love and hugs, Mary

    I will certainly keep praying for Ashlee and her family. Lets just believe that they can get all of the cancer without her having to lose her arm. Sending you a heartfelt hug also. God Bless, Grace to you..Barbara

    Mary, Ashlee will continue to be in my prayers. Praying for the cancer to shrink, that there will be enough clearance, no loss of arm and no breast cancer in the future. You are such a sweet and loving lady. Take care and blessings for you. J

    Hey my MI friend. Please give me Ashlee's full name. I want to get her on our prayer list at church. She is such a beautiful young lady and a fighter as well.Definitely an inspiration for all of us here at "DS". May the good Lord wrap you-all in His loving arms and give you the peace of knowing that Ashlee will have the best working with her. God bless from your KY connection. James
