Further updates as of July 13 @ 2:00AM
Dr. Jesse has gone over to pray with Mama Carmen & Papa Andy and we got to share a lot of our concerns and feelings regarding the surgery options. And we praise God that during our sharing, Andy revealed to us that Cassidy told him that she has lots of things she is going to do in the future and she has accepted the option of Rotationplasty. Papa Andy was very surprised that Cassidy actually understood what the doctor told her about her surgery, and so were we when we heard that from Andy. Papa Andy told us that Cassidy admitted to him that she does feel somewhat uneasy about the appearance of her leg after the surgery, and that she also has fears about the surgery. Mama Carmen is going to try to discuss the issue with Cassidy again to confirm that it is actually her decision to have Rotationplasty over the other options that are available. So we need you all to pray for God to guide Mama Carmen and Cassidy to have a keen and honest discussion before they reply to the doctors in arranging for the surgery.
Once Cassidy's decision is confirmed, Mama Carmen and Papa Andy with Gor Gor Aaron are committed to support her all the way, no matter what, without any reservation. And Dr. Jesse also pledges to support Cassidy's decision all the way through this journey. Cassidy says she is going to have the ambulance bring her home after the surgery and that she would want the siren on all the way home. She says she'll want the 'B-Boo B-Boo' all the way coming home from surgery.
It is indeed amazing how Cassidy at her age could understand the medical options that the doctor was telling her parents and even to come to a decision for herself. God is surely amazing and His way is truly beyond our ways. When we were all in distress about the decision to make, God and His Holy Spirit has already worked in the heart of a little girl to have such faith to look beyond her surgery day. I pray that encourages us all to have faith when facing all sorts of life's challenges.

Dr.Jesse,
Praise the Lord for His grace on Cassidy, Andy, Carmen and Aaron. Your faithful work in the Lord is well appreciated by all, and surely by the Lord Himself, since "man looks at outward appeareance, but I, the Lord, look at the heart."(1 Sam 16:7). So, let all of us put our past behin us, and, wholeheartedly "...forgetting what is behind and straining forward what is ahead towards the goal..heavenlyward in Jesus Christ"(Phil 3:13-14")
A dear Brother in Christ
Dear Cassidy, Carmen, Andy and Aaron,

Dear Cassidy,
Worry about the change doesn’t mean you will be unhappy after the change. Like the characters in the cartoon of “Lilo and Stitch”, although they not normally look like what we do, they have one eye, four eyes, two tongues or a broken ear like stitch, they are still cute, lovely and happy. With God inside, nothing can be impossible, you will have a happy life forever.
Thank you so much for your fairy series book library, its the first chapter book that I read. We made a colourful mosaic for the background of the “Rainspell Island”, also we ready the stickers of butterflies, flowers, stars, animal band, dolphins, rainbow, real shells and two fairies, so we can stick them on the mosaic together after your white blood cell counts get back to normal.
Love, Ebe =) @->-------
Hi Dr. Jesse,thank you for the newly prayer page.
Hey Cassidy, remember Jesus loves little children. He loves to hear your little voice to pray to Him, or sing to Him. When you are afraid, just close your eyes and ask Him for help.
I am praying for you everyday, and I love to see you sweet smile.
Dear Dr. Jesse:
Thank you very much for your follow-ups of Cassidy's situation.
According to what was said in the blog, I don't see any differences other than cosmetic appearance between the two options of surgery that Cassidy has to choose. It Seems to me that Cassidy's surgeon is in favour of Rotationplasty over Repithesis because he only did one case of the later. Dr. Jesse, did you mention that you're going to meet with the doctor who is the expert in Ottawa, Canada to perform Repithesis? I think it doesn't hurt to get a second opinion before making any final decision.
Auntie M.
