Missing one of Ash's loves

Well Ash has made it half way through her re-coop phase and her belly is healing well. She sure is missing playing basketball with her team and the ward young women. Here are a few photo's of her playing before Christmas. She is #10 (of coarse). The nice blue tape on her ears is because she just had her ears re-pierce. The ref did ask her coach what was wrong with her! Wonder what he told him? Crosbie was filling in that day.

THE STAPLES

Here is Ash's Belly Staples! Janice thought it looked like a football! I personally like the "yes" written next to the spot so that Dr. Harker got the right spot. The incision does have a purple line on it as well. Ash is a little concerned about the process of getting them out! That happens Wednesday!

Ashlee's Surgery

Ashlee had a epigastic (stomach) hernia repair yesterday. We thought it was along her midline with the muscles pulling apart. But Dr. Harker said the hernia was off to the left where the muscles must have been weak. He was able to put the hernia back in and stitch up the muscle very easily. (Ash might not think it feels that easy) She has a dressing in place with staples under it. She gets her staples out next week. After sleeping most of yesterday she has now made her place on the couch watching TV, playing her DS, drinking Dr. Pepper and eating JuJu Hearts (thanks Jenae. The main test will be several weeks of NO sports, lifting more than 20lbs, twisting or torking and missing PE! This could be more painful than the surgery for miss Smashlee Kae!

Drinking her DP so she can go home

Her belly. She liked the betadine painting stripes on her tummy.

Sacked out on the couch!
