Hey guys,

We're leaving at 4 am to bring Ash to the hospital. She's having a PICC line put in tomorrow and she's having her 3rd cranial vault/forehead advancement on Wednesday. Her docs plan on bringing her forehead forward an inch. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. I'll update ya when I can.

Annette
