Ashley with her very much loved Twinkie bunny:)
Ashley we love you and miss so very very much, thank you for choosing us to be your Mom and Dad,..

Ashley was originally DX with A.L.L, acute lymphoblastic leukemia on 4-11-00 at the age of 3 1/2 She endured 2½ yrs of chemotherapy and went OT (off treatment) on 6-9-02. Unfortunately, after 16 months OT she relapsed on 10-28-03 at the age of 7, it was decided that 2 yrs and 3 mths more of chemotherapy was needed. She went OT once again on 2-8-06. 14 months after Ashley completed her relapse protocol, 4/26/07 at the age of 10 Ashley relapsed once again in her bone marrow. We are working now to get Ashley into remission, after that is accomplished Ashley will be receiving a bone marrow transplant.Sadly after a long hard fight Ashley passed away on Dec. 8, 07. We miss her so very much

Ryan was DX with A.L.L on 1-10-04 at the age of 21 months, 3 months after Ashley's relapse. He finished 2½ yrs of chemotherapy on 7-31-06. He is now 16 months OT (off treatment) and doing well!

Not too much new going on here...trying to keep the kids busy, its only a few weeks into summer and they are already BORED!

Ryan and the girls are doing really well, his next dr appt is 7/7. He will be 2 years off treatment on July 31. Two years is a huge milestone for him.

Its really hard, every day we miss her so much I can't put it into words, a part of all of us is missing. It will be 7 months on July 8th, 7 long months.

Last weekend we were at the taste of Delafield, Mark saw a balloon go up in the air and said, "some kid somewhere is screaming for that balloon, Ryan said at least Ashley will get it! He thinks about her all the time, more than I think we know, they were so close, its hard watching him play by himself because I know Ashley would be sitting right beside him, making the game more exciting for him, or hitting him on the back of the head, yelling at him, calling him "Delila" (sp?) I miss yelling at the two of them to leave eachother alone :) We were always sepertaing them, one on one couch, one on the other, withinb min the two of them were cracking eachother up and best buds again, time out never lasted long with them.

Miss ya kiddo...
