My dear Prayer Warriors,

Im so sorry I have not posted in a while. Since the news, we have been busy making calls and going to get second and third and forth opinions. One day I will try to explain more in depth all the amazing miracles God has done to get to me to this point.

All the second,third and fourth opinions encouraged me to try and get to MD Anderson in Texas. So through God’s grace and divine providence I now have 3 appointments there and my tumor sample slides being sent there for pathology. I wish I could explain all the incredible doors God opened. Damien and I leave Monday morning the 9th. Kids will stay home with family and our indescribable community that are being God’s hands and feet to my family. Thank you dear friends for helping us in our time of need, I will never be able to repay you all.

Backing up a little bit, all the second, third and fourth opinions were split 50/50 on what was happening in my brain. Half said it is regrowth and I need surgery. Half said it could be something called radiation necrosis. Either way its not great but necrosis is preferred. Damien and I have learned that it is very difficult for even experienced oncologists and neurosurgeons to tell the difference on MRIs. These opinions also told me that they dont think my diagnosis is ependymoma. So we are back to square 1 of what the heck is this?

I have several prayer requests.

1. For God’s strength and grace to get through what His will is.
2. For very quick and clear answers at MD Anderson with the pathology results and path forward with regards to surgery and treatment.
3. For God to pour His love and strength over my children who are having such a difficult time with mom and dad leaving again for an unknown amount of time and uncertain situation.
4. For insurance to cover any appointments, scans, surgery, and treatment that may be needed.
5. For my full and complete healing.
6. For the conversion of all my family and friends.
7. For all the people who have sacrificed for us, supported us. And loved us during this time.
8. For safe and smooth travels.
9. Most of all For God’s will to be done and for us to align ourselves with God’s will.

We are asking for prayers through the intercession of Venerable Bishop Fulton Sheen.

Please dont hesitate to reach out to me. If I cant respond right away, I will as soon as I can.

Lord, help me. Guide my every step, help me be aligned with your Holy Will always. Mother Mary wrap me in your mantle of protection, hold me like you held your Son. Thank you all my friends, brothers and Sisters in Christ for your prayers, encouragement, love, sacrifices, support, and witness. God is so good to me, and I am unworthy of it all. Mother Mary, pray for us.

Bishop Fulton Sheen, beg God for a miracle on my behalf for full restoration of my health and for all cancer to be gone.

I will update as soon as I can.

God bless you all,

Ashley
