  Ashleigh has been seeing a hand therapist in conjuction with the orthopedic surgeon who did the tendon lengthening on her hand and wrist.

  Jake is Ashleigh’s cousin Jason and his wife Tina’s little boy. They came down from Columbus and paid a visit. Ashleigh enjoyed holding him and Jacob seemed pretty content. Jason is Celeste’s older brother.

Celeste and her husband Chris had a beautiful baby boy. Ashleigh loves helping taking care of babies and really has a good touch. The kids just calm right down and usually drop off to sleep. Below are a few pictures of baby Evan’s first visit.

  Although Marsha and Ashleigh loved the movie the “Wedding Crashers” we were invited to this wedding. Our daughter-in-law Vickie’s brother, Michael was married. Although it was only a week after Celeste’s wedding, Ashleigh was up for attending and had a good time. Below are a few photos.

  Ashleigh was Maid of Honor at her cousin Celeste’s wedding. She looked really beautiful and had a good time.

  Ashleigh had a great surprise over the weekend when her old PT dropped by for a visit. Bernardo had been Ashleigh’s Physical Therapist for about four years before moving away for a different position with the VA hospital near Cleveland.

After the hand appointment we went and had a head CT series done to try and check on Ashleigh’s shunt. She has seemed more sleepy and not as quick with her movements the past few weeks. In the past these very subtle changes have been a precursor to a shunt failure which requires a shunt…

Ashleigh had a check-up on Wednesday with the surgeon who did the tendon lengthening on her left arm . Dr. Peter Stern, an excellent orthopedic surgeon with the Hand Surgery Specialists in Cincinnati checked Ashleigh and thought she was doing very well.

Ashleigh has not been able to speak since her accident over six years ago. She does not even make sounds or noises. A video endoscope showed that although the vocal cords did not close all of the way they were not paralyzed.
