Home Ashley Her Family Patrick Preslee The accident Tuesday morning

Tuesday morning

Hi all, it's Aunt Nic again. I just talked to Pat. He got to hold Preslee last night. They are so grateful for those precious moments that they get to connect so intimately with her little spirit. She is back on the blood pressure medication today. She started struggling to keep that regular so it's just better to help her on the med and not make her little body work so hard. Pat and Ashley realize that she just needs time to heal and rest. Thank you all for the comments and messages that you all are sending their way. They love you all and just ask that you all keep Preslee in your thoughts and prayers. 

Love, Aunt Nic

    I'm another "you don't know me." I found your blog yesterday, linked from another blog that I follow. I'm praying for sweet little Preslee and for your whole family as well. God is a great and mighty healer and it sounds like Preslee is quite a little fighter. I'm praying that God will work through the doctor's and nurses and medicines to bring complete healing to her.

    We are praying for your sweet sweet family! Our Heavenly Father is so aware of our Trials and He comforts us when it gets too hard, I am grateful to have the Gospel in our lives and will continue to pray for you guys!! Little Preslee is adorable and will pull through this!!While our little miracle Brynlee was in the NICU an aunt of mine told me one day when things were tough that "this too shall pass" at the time it felt like it would take years, but now that she is home I think of that trial often and find myself stronger because of it!!! Faith, the Priesthood and our Heavenly Father can guide us through the most difficult of times. Even though I don't personally know you I love you and will call our new Temple here in the Gila Valley and put your names on the prayer roll!!! Hang in there
    with much love,

    I am in awe of how amazing your family is holding through this. Thank you so much for keeping us updated as much as possible. I wish in some way I could have known what to do when you walked into the waiting room. Your family has an amazing team of doctors and nurses. I know that from a very personal perspective. Your family is still in the ER's thoughts and prayers, where you will continue to be for a long time to come.

I just wanted to let you know that we are praying for Preslee and I know that many other people are doing the same. Stay strong, all of you! Heavenly Father answers our prayers! He will bless you especially in this hard time. Preslee is a beautiful girl and seems like a fighter!

    "I read their story and couldn't get through it without crying. I really hope that everything will be good and that a miracle truly will happen. Tell them that we are also praying for them in Latvia." (translated text)

    Patrick and Ash: Of the 13 temples in Utah, 3 are currently closed for summer maintenance. But all 3 of your names are now on the remaining 10 and will be for the next 2 weeks.

    I must tell you what a sweet spirit I felt with you and all your family last night. I came home so encouraged and full of hope. We're all praying for you and exercising faith that Preslee will have a full recovery.

    I came across your story on the idearoom blog. I followed it here and cried most of the night for your little family. My only daughter is the same age as yours right now and I can't even imagine what you are going thru! I have told everyone I talk to about your story and you are in my prayers and my thoughts. I feel very strongly that the power of one prayer is so great, but, the power of many praying together can open the blessings of heaven. I hope those blessings are given to your family and your sweet baby girl!! Best of luck and I will keep watching to see how things improve. Also, thanks to your aunt for giving the updates. Your energies are needed elsewhere!!

    Patrick and Ashley,

    I heard about Preslee through Cara on Facebook. We used to work together. My family and friends have added Preslee to your prayer list. She will be receiving prayers from Indiana, Kentucky, Georgia, Rhode Island and Virginia. There is awesome power in prayer to say the least. May God watch over Preslee and her loving family.

    Taiwan is praying for little Preslee and the Sullengers (Taichung and at the Taipei Temple). Our hearts go out to you and we know that miracles can happen, we are the recipients ourselves of tender mercies that have kept us on our mission. I drowned at about 18 months myself and was somehow miracuously revived. Trust in the Lord and His will. Sister and Elder Greene, Taiwan Taichung Mission (Jessica's parents)

    I heard your story on the news tonight and was touched and I wanted to tell you that your little girl will be in my prayers! It's one of the hardest things to watch your child go through something like this. I had twins, a boy and a girl a little over a year ago that were born 17 weeks early. Our little boy only lived for 17 days but our little girl fought hard and is still with us today. I pray that your little girl will fight hard and that the Lord will bless you with extra strength through this difficult time. I know the prayers and fasting of those around us helped us tremendously.

    I am another you don't know person. I had a nephew who spent several weeks at Primary Children's Hospital in the nicu. You are in the very best place with the very best doctors. Your little Preslee is such a beatiful little fighter. Your story brought tears to my eyes, and I found your blog today. Your little girl and family will be in my families prayers for a fast and speedy recovery. Heavenly Father loves you and is holding you while you hold your precious baby in your arms. He will never leave you alone during your trial. Much love to your little girl in her time of need. ~Tiffany

Hi, we're the Sullengers! Life turned upside down for us in 2010 when we lost our daughter in an accidental drowning. Since then, we've documented our highs (life with all five of our kids) and our lows (struggles with grief) but amongst everthing we've experienced, we know as long as we hold on to one another we can get through anything that comes our way.
