All For Ashlee
In June 2007 Ashlee was born with a TE Fistula, Imperforate Anus, and Cloacal Anomaly. The day after she was born she had surgery to repair the TE Fistula. She stayed in the NICU for 11 days and then finally went home. About a month later she had her esophagus dilated, a few weeks later she got a UTI and was in the hospital for nearly 2 weeks and finished her 18 day stay in the hospital with a colostomy. She has been doing pretty well since then. She had her esophagus dilated again in December. In May Ashlee got a DOC Band which she had for 3 1/2 months. We traveled to Ohio in August for Ashlee's Rectal Pull-Thru {and much more}, where we also found out that she has Tethered Cord. In a couple of weeks, she will be having the surgery to un-tether her spinal cord. All thru Ashlee's short life, she has been thru so much and yet has still managed to be one of the happiest babies in the whole world. She brings so much love and hope to her family and all who know her or get a chance to see her smile have fallen in love with her. I am Ashlee's lucky mom. {All proceeds go towards Ashlee's medical bills, treatments, and surgeries.}

Hi Coree! My name is Shiloh and I am a friend to a few of your friends: Maren, Kristen, Megan, Shelbi, Kira. I think we were in the same ward for a while too. I was looking at your blog from a link on Kristen's blog. I remember when you had Ashlee and would ask my friends how she was doing. She is so cute! I had a baby girl around the same time as you. Although we were fortunate that she was born healthy, I understand how hard it is to have a child with health problems. Our first daughter was born at 25 weeks and we still face many health issues to this day. YOu were so smart to start selling all of this cute stuff to help with expenses because I know how expensive things can get. All your stuff is so cute! Anywho, I told my mom about this cute missionary sign and she is interested in getting one for my brother. SHe wanted me to find out how much they were and the details. Email me at shiloh_mckinnon@yahoo.com and let me know and I will let her know. Good luck with everything and I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks, Shiloh
