So busy with all the happy things.

Cassidy had her bone scan at SickKids yesterday and we are waiting for the report. And CaCa is enjoying her freedom from Chemo this week. She was so blessed to have all you friends checking her out and bringing her gifts all the time. Cassidy says she doesn't even know how to thank you all.

Cassidy was surprised by Mme. Saba, Ms. Mercurio and Mrs. Barrow from Cliffwood who came to see her and brought so many gifts and presents from all her friends from school. Cassidy is making a big bear collection and when she's all done with treatment, she's going to put them all together to make a big big class with the bear-bears. Cassidy says a big special Thank You to Lisha and Ailin Fei who sent her a very special present. Cassidy says she is so blessed with all these presents in the last few months and since it's time that we make shoe-boxed presents for little children who are not as fortunate, she says she will go through all her presents and pick from them some duplicated or similar ones to put into shoeboxes. She is thinking she might have 4 full boxes but may be even more. Dr. Jesse applauds Cassidy's spirit of giving and her thoughtfulness to those little children who are less fortunate than we are. Isn't it nice that we get to pick from something we have and love and then be able to send it off as a blessing to another child. If you are also doing your Samaritan Purses this year, may Dr. Jesse remind you that it's all about the spirit of giving so you should find something you already have and give to others, it would be meaningless if you just take an empty box home and nag your mommies and daddies to buy new stuff for that child. If you do that, you're just forcing your parents to give and you yourself are not really giving out anything.

We are so glad that Cassidy has been discharged to return home to enjoy her weekend as of late this afternoon. Mommy Carmen has already planned a whole weekend full of fun for Cassidy, GorGor Aaron and the rest of the family. Make sure you call them up before you make your trip to visit. And one more time, if you have a cough, a cold, a flu or anything not quite right, you should refrain from visiting Cassidy until you get better. Because we don't want Cassidy to catch any of the germs or virus that are going around. Cassidy still needs to be very careful in everything she does and eat and everywhere she goes that would not make her body weak or sick. Let us pray that CaCa enjoys her great weekend, stays healthy and continue to eat well to build up her body for the next chemo a week later.

While waiting for bone scan report, Mama Carmen and Papa Andy will further discuss about the change of chemo drug and make their final decision upon the arrival of the bone scan report in the next couple of days. Please continue to pray that God's Holy Spirit guides them on this important communication and that God grants wisdom to them so they, along with doctors, would make the best decision that not only helps CaCa recover but also pleases and glorifies God.
