98632. Kathleen Reinholdt the daily news Less than three weeks after surgeons implanted a donor's liver into 7-year-old Ashley Straw, the Longview girl was scheduled to move today or Thursday from a Bay Area hospital to a nearby Ronald McDonald House for a month of outpatient recuperation. "She's amazing," Ashley's mother, Sharon Straw, said in a telephone call Tuesday from San Francisco. On Feb. 4, Ashley received the liver she needed to replace the one she was born with, which was failing because of biliary atresia.
The incurable condition is marked by a hardening of the liver and bile ducts. The surgery was performed at California Pacific Medical Center's pediatric transplant center. For the month that Ashley and her mother need to stay near the hospital, they'll be staying in Palo Alto, Calif, near Stanford University's medical center. Ashley, a second-grade student at Robert Gray Elementary School, has to take anti-rejection medication and several other medicines, but is feeling great, her mother said. Ashley's up and around, and has already taken a short bicycle ride, Sharon Straw said.
During her California stay, Ashley's been thrilled by the many cards and letters she's received from folks here, many of whom were strangers who simply offered their best wishes and prayers, Straw said. Before leaving the San Francisco hospital, the mother and daughter were thinking about going to look at Ashley's old liver, which was kept for study. "It sounds kind of morbid to me," Straw said, laughing, but doctors told them some people want to know what removed organs look like so the opportunity is offered. Sharon Straw works at Longview's Child and Adolescent Clinic. Ashley's father, Gary Straw, works for Pacific Laminations, a Longview mill.
Insurance covered the transplant. One of Sharon Straw's coworkers, Kim Gipson, is asking for donations to help cover some of Sharon and Ashley's personal expenses while they're out of town. Donations can be made at Weyerhaeuser Credit Union, to Sharon Straw's savings account. For the next few weeks, cards can be mailed to Ashley in either her name or her mother's, in care of Ronald McDonald House, 520 Sand Hill Road, Palo Alto, 94304. After years of worrying that her daughter might not survive, Sharon Straw said she's astounded that Ashley has a new chance at life and that after such a major operation she's doing well enough for doctors to let her out of the hospital.
