Home Sweet Home

Mama Carmen asked Dr. Jesse to hold off new posts for a few days so you can all stay on the prayer requests at this special time when they are facing new challenges. And they are thankful for all your prayers. Mama Carmen and Papa Andy want to let you all know that Cassidy is doing great and she has came home this afternoon.

Cassidy is due back next week to see a couple more specialists and to have a kidney test to get ready for her next dose of Chemo of the combination drugs just like the first dose she ever had. It will be a 48hrs drip and hopefully they can start that on Thursday if the hospital has the bed for CaCa. This combination Chemo is the one that made CaCa throw up and didn't want to get up last time, let us pray fervently that God will again help CaCa endure this round of treatment and to minimize the side effects.

On the other hand, the doctors are facing a dilemma about her blood-thinner shots. The blood clot in CaCa's leg is still there and the blood thinner should gradually remove the clot, however the blood-thinner will worsen the bleeding inside the tumor. Let us pray at this crucial moment that God would grant wisdom to the doctors to make the best decision on this matter.

The nurses did say that any kind of shrinkage in the tumor area is good and Mama Carmen told Dr. Jesse that she measured CaCa's tumor and it went from 40cm to 38cm tonight. This is encouraging and we praise God for this great progress. Let us continue to pray for good progress such as this and for God's amazing healing in Cassidy.
