Doctor still hoping high

Cassidy's surgeon told Mama Carmen today that he is striving to hold up surgery until next week to decide how to best treat Cassidy's leg. Cassidy's hemoglobin went further down to 31 late last night and the doctor had to give her more blood product. But praise God that her blood level was gradually climbing back up to the 70's by the time Dr. Jesse left this afternoon around 4pm. And the discharge from her leg wound seems to have reduced. However, Cassidy was having fever this afternoon and had to be given Tylenol, there was still a very slight fever when Dr. Jesse left this afternoon.

But despite the fever, Cassidy enjoyed most of the day listening to Robert Munch's Audio Book on a CD, and there is a total of 42 stories told by Robert Munch himself. Cassidy already read most of the stories because she has most of the story books, but she was overjoyed to be able to hear those stories read to her by the author himself.

When Cassidy was not feeling too well today, uncle Gary taught her to squeeze something really hard so that it will take away some of the bad feelings, and uncle Gary gave his face for Cassidy to practice squeezing. Ouch, that must have hurt. So when you all see uncle Gary, remember to give him a kiss on his face so it gets better and be ready for Cassidy to squeeze the next time around. God does make great use of every single part of our body, that is one great way to glorify God with our body. Dr. Jesse also uses her strong waggling tail to make Cassidy laugh all the time, I guess that counts?!

Mama Carmen is very stressed lately and she was not having much appetite these days. Let us all pray that she remains strong and have courage from God to also take good care of herself so that she can provide care for Cassidy who needs mommy very much.

And then please continue your prayers for Cassidy's leg wounds to heal and for her lower leg to start working with the rest of her body. Pray fervently for God to grant wisdom and insights to doctors so that they can decide on the best treatments for Cassidy. And if it is the will of God, let us all proclaim healing and victory over sickness for Cassidy In The Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, for He is familiar with suffering, He was pierced for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities, and the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed.(Isaiah53:3-5)

Dr. Jesse would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been praying for Cassidy and her family these many months. God's love and blessings are so abundantly revealed through your continuous supports and prayers. May God bless all your hearts and your loved ones and may God reward everyone of you with His heavenly blessings and rewards.

On behalf of Cassidy and the rest of the Sheng's family, we thank you for your fervent prayers and all kinds of supports. Soon enough, Cassidy will be all better and be able to see you all and thank you all in person and to share with us all how she experienced the power and love of God through her sickness. Stay tuned!
