Help Ashley recover from brutal attack!

Ashley had her second surgery last week, and is recovering well. She is doing really well. She had a chance to go through and read some of the messages that you all have sent along with your donations, and was very touched by them, as well as with the generosity that has been showed to her. I know that she would give each and every one of you a big thank you hug if she could! I'm keeping the page going, so if you know of anyone who might want to donate, please send the link to them! I would also like to thank you all for helping raise this money, which will really help her get back to a place in life where she can be comfortable, and not have to worry about paying the bills for a little while! I'll keep the page updated with information whenever I have any...

I just wanted to post a quick update on how Ashley is doing. Her sister tells me that she is doing really well. She was cleared from physical therapy, so now she only needs speech therapy. They found a surgeon close to home in Ohio, and she met with him last week to talk about the next surgery. That will probably happen in the next month or so. He said she will most likely only need to stay in the hospital for 3 days after the surgery, and then can come back home and recover there. After the surgery, the surgeon will continue to monitor her for about a month, and they will ask for a full evaluation at that time to ensure that she is back to where she was prior to the attack, or as close as possible.

I know that the family is incredibly grateful for the generosity that has been shown to them. I am also very thankful that people have been so amazing, and have been sharing her story with others so that we can continue to raise money to help Ashley. Please keep it up! Every dollar helps, so if you know of someone who might be willing to donate, please send them the link to this page! Thank you to everyone, and I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Thank you SO much to everyone who has donated, and helped us achieve our goal of $10,000! Although I set that as the goal, obviously that doesn't mean that I will stop trying to raise money for her. Please continue to share the link, spread the word, and help raise money to help Ashley out with some of her bills. I sincerely appreciate all of you who donated, and also those who couldn't, but who left a nice message of encouragement for Ashley.
