Sweet Sixteen

On January 18th sixteen years ago, our life changed dramatically.


Ashley Lynn Post was born after 16 hours of labor and then finally a c-section. The whole labor and deliver room went silent once she came out, when the doctor announced that she had hydrocephalus. She also had a pneumothorax(collapsed lung) and was possibly septic.

Fast forward 16 years and we have our miracle! Ashley is doing great, is in her sophomore year at Highland High School and amazes us and others daily!



The day after she was born


The first time I really got to see her before they took her up to Primary's
(day after she was born with the Life Flight crew, notice her head size)

We went to Golden Corral for her birthday dinner
