| Okay Guys here''s your update! My little grandson Ashton, born with a bi-lateral cleft lip and bi-lateral cleft palate, had a setback last week when his upper jaw collapsed again. My daughter had to take him back down to Madison again. They had to redo his dental impressions and refit him with a new, bigger jaw expander. Hopefully this will not postpone his first surgery on Jan. 17, 2002 to put his lip together so feedings will get easier for him.
On a lighter note, my ''little trooper'' has his first tooth. It is only a calcium pre-baby tooth that makes his little smile funny, but this grandma thinks he''s just getting ready to start eating red meat!!! ( Venison, Jo, of course!!)
Thank you again to everyone that keeps bidding on the items up for auction. It really has helped soooooo much. My daughter has to take Ashton down to Madison every two weeks and thats quite a trek for them to make. Your generosity has helped pay for gas, special nipples to make feedings somewhat easier for the little guy, and will ultimately help her pay for lodging as needed during the seven surgeries he faces at this point.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart, my daughter''s heart, and from Ashton''s heart. If he could talk he would thank you all too!!!!!!!
Sincerely,
Jody Holbrook
Ashton''s Grandma

Addendum:12/06/2001
Ashton will not even have a hard palate, something the rest of us take totally for granted every time we speak, until he nears seven years of age. The surgeries are scheduled to match his growth, and will be a trial for him and his parents, for certain.
His mom has another child, a two year old delightful little girl, and really has her hands full. Ashton is, of course, a "special needs" baby. Ashton''s mom cannot possibly work and care for him properly too, and THAT is why I am helping the little guy.
It is a tough enough situation to have a special needs child and another little one. The situation is compounded by the fact the surgical team is in Madison, a long trip for the family to have to take every other week at the minimum.
I also wish to thank everyone who has donated or bid, and that is right from the heart...Thanks.

| You all are very welcomed. If I see I can help some more in the future I will for sure.
We have so much to be thankfull for and sometimes we have to sit back and see what others have to go through and realise that we need to step up and help as every little bit helps.
Our prayers are with little Ashton and his family.

| Just realized that I have the company "holiday" party on Saturday night, will end this auction on Sunday night Dec. 9th at around 8:00 pm. Thanks to all the bidders and comments. Let's see if we can coerce someone into just one or two more bids. Come on folks open up your wallets and pledge a little more of that hard earned cash to this worthy cause.
Thanks, everyone
