Welcome!

Hi, and welcome to our blog! Hopefully this is the first of many entries. Since Ashlee isn't really able to e-mail or post on Myspace and Facebook anymore, I thought I would provide a little window into her world.

Last Friday was a pretty good day. She was able to get out of bed via her hoya lift. She even sat in her reclining wheelchair for a few hours. During which, her cousin Michelle came over and gave her a modified "Victoria Beckham" cut. She is now known as Ashlee "Posh" Koerner. She then moved to the couch where she was able to eat pizza (Pepperoni and Black Olives...ewww) and "cuddle" with Mitch. While, the pain in her head and back was evident, she was in no hurry to get back into bed.

On Saturday, her appetite came knocking bright and early. She woke her mom up at 6 a.m. with a request for Mac and Cheese. Now if that isn't Ashlee, I don't know what is! By Sunday afternoon, she was still going strong. Barbecue, doughnuts and coffee were just a few of her requests. It is so nice to see her eating again. We scramble to fufill any request and try anything to tempt her appetite.

Unfortunately, on Sunday we had to break the news to her about her beloved cat, Sassy. During her stay in the hospital, he had to be put to sleep. She was understandably upset, but did eventually decide that a kitten might be nice. Hopefully sometime this week, a new addition to the Koerner family will arrive.

The visitors continue to stop by. The family also continues to be thankful for all of the food people bring! I know Ashlee has enjoyed the variety of things to eat.

If you would like to send a donation, the mailing address for the Bank of Elwood is on the main page. Please send them c/o the Ashlee Koerner Fund.

We continue to celebrate every good day she has. Her sense of humor is still evident. No matter how she is feeling she is still Ashlee. Please continue to keep her and the family in your prayers.

So please stop by and see her. You may want to wear pants though, the kitty may have claws!
