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

The signs are good.....

After some unexpected delay, Dr. Jesse is finally back from the U.S. to see CaCa last night. Thanks uncle Chester for keeping the blog updated.

Cassidy is still in ICU but after a long day of special care by her surgeon Dr. Hopyan, the bleeding in her leg is controlled and CaCa's vitals are stabled now. Although the external skin of her leg are bruised by the bleeding, the internal function seems to be picking up now. The doctor and nurses reported "cap-filling" in her leg, that is the appearance of color change when her muscles are pressed, and that is a good sign for her leg because that means the blood is moving and her leg is "alive". It will take another long period for her old dead skin to heal and change, but that is all good.

This makes Dr. Jesse remember how important it is for our hearts to be fully changed for God despite our external appearance. God looks at people's heart, not the external features, our outter shell may look bad but God is pleased by our repentance and change in our hearts.

Although it got us all anxious but Dr. Jesse thinks it's a good thing for Cassidy to be moved into ICU after seeing the nice and tender nurses in the ICU last night. I think God wants the best care for CaCa and the closest monitor on CaCa to make sure she gets the best of what she needs in recovery. Also Dr. Hopyan was staying by CaCa's side the whole weekend to make sure things are fine with her and that her condition is stabled. The ICU nurse who just took her new shift after the weekend says Cassidy is doing fine and she didn't see why Cassidy was put into ICU. So that tells us that Cassidy is much better now and that she might get moved out of the ICU soon. Praise God for such an arrangement for Cassidy so that she gets the best care while she was most needing it. God's plan is always the greatest.

Please continue to pray for the network of veins and nerves to build up in CaCa's leg and foot so that the healing is speedy. And also pray for the strength and peace in Carmen and Andy. If it is within God's plan, we pray that Cassidy gets moved back to regular room so mom and dad can be with her more and over the night.

Stay tuned for updates and please refrain from calling or visiting until further notice. Thank you all for your concerns and support, let's speed up Cassidy's recovery by fervent and continuous prayers.

Thanks Dr Jesse for CaCa's update. I am relieved to hear that she is doing well. Yes, God does have a plan for every one of us. He knows when we needed Him the most. Long weekends usually mean less doctors and nurses working in the hospital, putting CaCa in ICU is great as she will definitely get the most attention by the doc n nurses.

Be strong, Carmen & Andy, you know there are brothers and sisters praying for your family.

I am so glad to see the update, knowing that God is working, CaCa is in His hand, He is with CaCa all this time, don't be afraid God is with you CaCa. because "For my thought are not your thought, neither are your ways my ways,"declarcs The Lord "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my way higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.Isiah 55:8-9 Bestrong Carmen and Andy, because the Lord says " I will be with you; I will never leave you or forsake you. Be strong and courageous,"Josh 1:5-6 although I never talk to you,but I've been praying for you all this time.

This is so glad to know that CaCa is doing much better now. Thank God that He gives CaCa a good doctor and nice nurses to take care of her. I will continue to pray for her everyday. I strongly believe that God will listen to all our prayers as Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt,....you can say to this mountain, "Go, throw yourself into the sea," and it will be done. If you believe, you will recieve whatever you ask for in prayer." (Matthew 21:21-22) Andy and Carmen, be strong! Also take good care of yourselves so that you can have energy to support CaCa.
