Service Arrangements for Ash

As most of you know we lost Ash on Sunday. Her poor little body just couldn't take it anymore.

The service for Ashley will be this Saturday at 10am at Hahn Cook Street and Draper at 6600 Broadway. If you would like to participate the ladies are wearing fuschia heels/shoes and the guys fuschia ties. If you cannot find fuschia, anything bright, cheery and full of life will be perfect! She wouldn't have it any other way....

We would like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers this past week and ask that you continue to do so.

We are all going to miss her so much---heaven just got another angel.
R.I.P. Ashley Lena Pena---we love you!

Day 7--Saturday, June 6th

We wanted a day of rest of Ashley but the Dr.'s started trying to lower doses of her blood pressure medicine and trying different combinations of drugs to help with the blood flow in her extremities. Her extremities are really starting to show signs of trauma. Ashley's organs are definitely working hard on repairing all of the work that has been done on her. We are heading back to the OR tomorrow for an irrigatin of the abdomen. She still continues to fight everyday....prayers are needed! Keep them coming please.

Day 6--Friday, June 5th

This morning seemed to be good. Ash had a good night last night which is awesome news! She typically does worse during the night time. Her poor little legs are really swollen. Her toes are discolored and we are worried. They did a procedure to insert something into her veins to check for clots, there were none because her veins are so small and constricted. The muscle in her left leg is discolored though. They made incisions on both legs like they did her arm and we are hoping this helps. Hopefully the muscle will get better….good news though---the right one looked good. She will rest tonight and tomorrow and be back for a washing of all of those wounds on Sunday. Please continue to pray for our girl....

Day 5--Thursday, June 4th

The Dr.'s say she had her roughest night yet last night. She was bleeding some again and her bp had dropped. Today is going to be tough. The surgery was off and then back on once the team got her vitals stabilized. She finally went into surgery this afternoon. They started by doing a wash in her stomach and decided to proceed with her liver when she was showing stablization! GREAT SUCCESS!!! Again, Dr. O'herrin and her team are ROCKSTARS!! We cannot say that enough and when you add that with the fireball girl we have---you can't be beat!! She was in surgery for about 4 hours. We are all talking about how strong she is and stronger than anyone we know! Ash was on 2 bp medications and now only 1....that is progress and we will take it! Ash will be resting the next couple of days, but the Dr.'s will soon start stitching her up little by little. Hopefully by the end of next week she will be awake and stitched back up! She still has a long way to go, but we are all extremely happy with today's miracle we were given!! It was truly a blessing!!

Day 4--Wednesday, June 3rd

Today was a slow day…Ash was stable and resting, her little body needed that after yesterday. They went ahead and put her on dialysis today as a precaution. I don't know all of the medical terms, but the Dr.’s had to put an incision in her left arm on the top and bottom because of the swelling. It was a possibility that it could cause permanent damage to her muscle and they needed to relieve some pressure off of it. She was scheduled to have surgery tomorrow at 10:30 in the morning to repair the bile duct in her liver. The nurse says her face swelling seems to be going down…that is good news. We'll take it!

Day 3--Tuesday, June 2nd

Today was a rough day. Ash had us scared. The Dr.’s said she is the sickest patient in the hospital by far, but that she was staying strong and fighting ---we are all so proud of her. The room was packed with her family and friends. She had another surgery today….they worked on her lung and did a washing of her abdomen. A pediatric surgeon was brought in as well because her organs are so small! She is still open from her operations and that is because she is too swollen to sew up at this point. Her kidneys are on the verge of failure, but the Dr.’s are prepared to put her on dialysis if needed. She's fighting!!

Day 2--Monday, June 1st

Today was a much better day. The mood in the room was totally different and we were getting good news. Ash was stable and bleeding had slowed down, today she rested. She was on paralytic and sedative medication, but responded well to all of the tests that the Dr.’s did when they woke her up. We were all very happy! A blood drive was set up today for Friday June 5th from 9-2 at the State Capitol on 4th floor---PLEASE GO DONATE!!!

Day 1--Sunday, May 31st

Today was the day of Ashley's accident. She was mediflighted to OU Medical Center for trauma treatment. She had internal bleeding and the worst bleed came behind her lung. The surgeons were very concerned on whether or not they could even get to the source of the bleed, and we weren't given a whole lot of hope, but they were successful. Dr. O'herrin and her team are rockstars!! The room lit up with joy and you could sense the relief coming from everyone! There were so many family members and friends that came to show their love and support for her. Ash is an amazing woman who is deeply loved...that is apparent.
