These last day and a half of having Ashlyn home as been almost as surreal as the last 31 days in ICU. Except that this Surrealness is filled with an absolute and undeniable sense of humble grattitude, wonderment, relief, and JOY. This picture taken just this morning has her holding her little chest tube device, which is wrapped in a blue surgical glove to catch the fluids and yuck that is still slowly draining from her chest.
This MacGyver rigged device is just one more illustration of how unique her situation is, how unique her being home is, and how uniquely aware we are of God’s divine hand in granting us this miracle. A miracle we are determined to never forget. That our Ashlyn was released on the day that was to be her surgery is not lost on us…nor is it lost on us that she was allowed to come home on Ash Wednsday… a day that will for us be forever remembered as Ashlyn Wednsday.
Ashlyn came home on Ash Wednsday...how perfect!

From Here to Home in 31 Days
- Ashlyn Eve is Home…and it’s WONDERFUL
Can we ever thank each of you for your prayers, fasting and faith exercised in behalf of our family? Can we thank God enough for this miracle? No, but we can try. What is the very best way we can show God that we love him? His son taught… “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” We hope that our efforts at keeping the commandments and striving to be more like the Savior is seen by Him and by you, our dear friends, as an expression of grattitude for all we have been and continue to be given.
Love, The Weislers
