talented and I am showing just two of the four items we

A HUGE THANK YOU AND BLESS YOU ALL

Hi, Primmies,
I want to thank all of you for the overwhelming flood of love and support that you've sent to Ashley and our family. It's just wonderful that I have made such warm, loving and caring friends. I hope to be up and running back to my old blabbering self this weekend. You know what I'm saying, I've had some really long posts and more than one a day!
Ashley is doing well today. She's on some meds for infections, a precaution I'm sure, for the cramping, etc. I just spoke with her before I saw all the comments and she's quiet and says she's o.k.. I think she's trying really hard, she asked us to take her pregnancy book home with us last night. Tim told her she should write in it about what happened, the ultrasounds are in it from all the babies, but she said she can't. So that tells me she's not quite alright yet. I told her it would help bring closure, she nodded her head. I'll let her think about it for a week or so and try again. That's the reason I haven't showed her all the beautiful, sweet comments from all of you. It would warm her heart, I'm sure but I think it's too much for her right now. I will
tell her this weekend. 
I want to thank you so very much again. It doesn't seem like enough
to say but I am very grateful. I realize that there are many people with  much more serious health and family issues, battling illnesses and
I want you to know that I feel the love from all of you.
God Bless All Of You,
Susan and Family
