Ash worked hard in rehab today. The speech therapist examined Ashley's vocal cords and discovered they are not closing properly and that is the reason she speaks so quietly and is most likely the reason she can't swallow properly. Arrangements are being made to have the feeding tube go directly into her stomach. She ha...s develped a fever with chills tonight and they are now doing new blood draws and a chest x-ray.
