Josh Hutcherson involved with Marsh Madness

Josh Hutcherson of The Hunger Games has joined forces with the Friends Of Abby Marsh to help raise money for the Abby Marsh Trust Fund. Abby, who played soccer at Ryle High School, Josh’s high school Alma mater, was involved in a car accident on May 22^nd and suffered a broken neck. She is currently unable to functionally control her body from the chest down and has limited movement in her hands, yet she is able to feel these parts.     

The Abby Marsh Trust Fund will be holding five separate dinner auctions in which each winner, plus a guest, will all join Josh for a dinner at an undisclosed location in the Greater Cincinnati Area, on Saturday, August 18 at 5pm.

All proceeds from the auctions will go directly to the Abby Marsh Trust Fund. All payments will be made via Pay-Pal. The winners will be notified of a location to meet for transportation to the restaurant. Transportation from that location will be provided by the Friends Of Abby Marsh. All transportation arrangements outside of this will be provided by the winners at their own expense. Josh Hutcherson and the Friends Of Abby Marsh will cover the cost of the dinner but will have no additional financial obligations.

All winners will be subject to a background check prior to the dinner. Please note that video or audio recording, of this  of any kind is strictly prohibited. 

Please watch for website links to the dinner auctions coming soon. 

Auctions will start Monday, August 6th, morning at 6:00am.

98 Degrees

Abby had a very good yesterday!  She met and chatted with the band members of 98 Degrees. (98 degrees was a very popular boys band in the late '90's).  Band members Drew and Nick Lachey are local to Cincinnati; they have also been in the limelight lately for winning Dancing with the Stars and hosting the Sing Off.  They are very active in local charities and often come to Cincinnati Children's for visits with the sick kids. They definitely made Abby feel better!  (and Mom)  
Medically, Abby is going to have surgery in the very near future to insert G-J tubes ( feeding tubes and drainage tubes)  into her stomach. This will make her feel a lot more comfortable since it means the tubes currently in her nose will be taken out and lead out of her abdomen. The tubes are irritating her esophagus and nasal passages which have been causing: excess inflammation, pain and discomfort, and excess secretions (saliva).
She hasn't gained any weight this week so far and her stomach issues are still hampering her recovery.  So please keep her in your prayers.
