Ashley is 17. Following surgery, she had a coronary and is in a coma. They have removed the respirator and feeding tube. She is presently breathing on her own. But the future is so uncertain.

Please keep Ashley and her family and friends and the medical workers in your prayers.

I will definitely pray for her. Please know I am thinking of her.

I hope she will make a full recovery.

Suggest you retitle your thread, asking for prayers. Might get more response.

Can do. Thanks. I didn't use the obvious title because I simply chose not to.

Ashley is still breathing on her own. Slow and steady. But the doctor's are offering little hope.

Ashley will be in my prayers tonight. How horrible. Will also be thinking of her family. Best wishes...Pat

Ashley and her family will also be in my prayers.

Update:

Ashley Clark, 17 year old friend of the Kinzer’s - She had the feeding tube replaced yesterday. Tuesday afternoon one of the nurses and Debby thought that Ashley squeezed their hands on command. When the neurology team came in they didn't see it, nor did they check her eyes for any pupil dilation. After they left, Debby & Kent thought they saw movement in her eyes. The nurses were coming in every 15 minutes to work to get Ashley to squeeze their hand on command. The jaw surgeon had been out of town for 2 days. He checked her pupils with the light and said they definitely dilated! He also said she looked like a different patient from 2 days ago...so... The doctors will check more after the feeding tube is in place and she has received some nourishment. They feel like she is so weak she may respond better once she is a little stronger. The Mayfair church’s website is continually updated with her status. The address is http://mym.mayfair.org/wwwboard/index.html

Keep praying, please. I just can't imagine what her family is going through.

I prayed for Ashley tonight. I hope all our prayers will be answered... Perry

Plans are being made to take Ashley home this weekend with Hospice nurses. The Mayfair church’s website is continually updated with her status. The address is http://mym.mayfair.org/wwwboard/index.html

This is not good news. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

This is the update I pulled off the "Ashley" link tonight.

August 15
We just confirmed that Hospice will be at the house at noon to set everything up, so Ashley will be coming home by ambulance some time this afternoon. Debby sounds totally overwhelmed and exhausted...very tired. Please, No Visitors at this time. They will let us know how we can help as time goes by. Please continue to pray. Cards, notes of encouragement would be appreciated. Please send to either their home address or c/o Monrovia Church of Christ, 595 Nance Road, Madison, AL 35758.

She is at home with hospice nurses coming in.

Here's the latest update, copied off the website where there are updates:

"We just got home from a good visit with Kent, Debby and Ashley! Mitch worked with Ashley doing 'range of motion' physical therapy and Holly & I had a real good visit with Debby too. I have 2 things to share with you...
First of all, there is a hospital in Atlanta, the Scottish Rite something, that is one of a few in the country that specializes in severe brain trauma/head injury coma patients. They are coming to evaluate Ashley this coming Tuesday, Sept 2. So our fervent prayer can be that they will see the appropriate signs that will make them able to admit Ashley to their hospital! IF they will take her, it will involve Debby living there in Atlanta and Kent visiting on the weekends, while Ashley undergoes very intensive therapy. This could be a really encouraging thing."
