By the request and suggestion of some concerned brothers and sisters, due to the reason that some of those who are diligently praying for Cassidy and her family are from all around the world and may not know our circle of friends personally, the regular Blog posting may confused them because Dr. Jesse would sometimes refer to people by the names known to local circle only. Therefore, this new Prayer page is made for those who would like to just see the updated prayer needs of the Sheng Family so they can pray more specific prayers for them. So feel free to pass this site onto more prayer buddies to effect a greater prayer power. Thus the name of this new site http://PowerPray.blogspot.com

Doctor still having hope.

Cassidy's condition has been stable for the last couple of days. Leech therapy and transfusions were ordered from time to time. And Cassidy also got to look at her leg and the leeches, we all think she is a super brave girl. Mama Carmen says Cassidy was crying a little yesterday morning because she was a little sad about having to stay in the hospital for too long and that she is hoping to get her happy life back. Although no one can promise her of doing that anytime soon, but Mama Carmen helped CaCa to pray and told her to ask God for what she is wishing for and God will be able to help her. Then CaCa was basically in a good mood in the afternoon. Dr. Jesse also brought her 2 new friends - The Pinky Happy Flower & The Yellow Smiley Duckie. They are towel washcloth that CaCa and Mama can use to wash their face in the hospital and later at home when they come home.

Dr. Hopyan has seen Cassidy's leg yesterday and says it's still stable and they can still wait. Let us continue to pray for a miracle on Cassidy's leg that she can avoid the next surgery. And if it is God's will for her to have the next surgery, let us submit to that and pray that Cassidy has a strong and healthy body to endure it. It has been quite a few weeks since Cassidy has her last Chemo, but with the open wound in her leg, the doctors cannot order Chemo for her. Let us pray extra fervently that God will take away any microscopic cancer cell in Cassidy's body so that her body remains strong and good without Chemo, it would be best if she can avoid all further Chemo altogether. However God has planned on Cassidy, let us have faith and trust in God that He will carry her through all the way no matter what.

Cassidy is having a catherer on so she does not have to get up to go to the washroom. However she is very sensitive to the tube in her and is very nervous that the tube may not work and she might wet her bed. So she is not too willing to drink or eat because she knows that any liquid she takes in will make her wet the bed. Let us pray that Cassidy get used to the catherer soon so she won't have to hold her pee which makes her feel her tummy blowing up.

Mama Carmen was having a bad headache last night so she went home to have a better sleep. Let us pray that it was nothing big and that she gets to maintain her health so she has the energy she needs to care for CaCa. Also, Mama Carmen has not been eating too well lately, let us pray that she builds up her appetite to eat more good and healthy food to keep her energy up. Remember to pray for Papa Andy's health so he also be able to look after Cassidy, Aaron, Mama Carmen and also take care of his business and their home. Super daddy is on overdrive, let's charge him up with turbo fuel with our fevent prayers.

I check this blog from time to time to keep myself update about Cassidy's status. I am happy to know she is stable and I will continue to pray for her and her family.
It is mentioned there will be "next surgery", what is it for? Can somebody tell me?

Christine,
The next surgery is called by Dr. Hopyan as "cleaning up". He said this afternoon that he'll decide in a couple of days on the timing of this. Basically, he'll operate on Cassidy's leg to remove any dead tissues, but retaining as much as possible so that Cassidy would have the highest possible degree of functionality of her leg.
