Gone home already on Friday

Sorry for the delayed update, Dr. Jesse's computer went coo coo and couldn't get to doing the updates, sorry for making you all worry for a few days. Nevertheless, Cassidy is doing well and has gone home on Friday afternoon after 1 last bag of transfusion. Her blood count was a bit low on Thursday night so the doctor couldn't say if she could go home for the weekend or not, then Friday morning shows a bit better levels and doctor decided to give her 1 last bag of blood product before discharging her and we all went home for the weekend. But CaCa is still coughing a little bit so we still have to be very careful not to get her anymore sick. If you are thinking of seeing her, make sure you are at perfect health. If you had a flu shot in the last couple of weeks, even if you're not feeling sick, it is still better if you wait another week before you go see CaCa, just to be safe.

CaCa got a bunch of light-up gadgets on Thursday and she felt in love with those light-up glow sticks. May be we can have a great party of lights later and we can turn off all the light and let those little light-up gadgets flash with some nice music and food. Let's pray that CaCa continue to enjoy good health and strong body so we can plan more fun parties together.

CaCa also started to eat better since Thursday, but there is a very bad mouth sore in her gum, so that makes it painful for her to eat. Let us especially pray that her mouth sore goes away so that she can eat all the yummy foods she likes and quickly recover from her cold and from the chemo effects.

CaCa will be going back to Bloorview next week getting ready for her next chemo on the coming Thursday. Remember to pray that God would minimize the side effects on her chemo again and that the treatment reacts well to keep CaCa's body free of cancer cell.

It's seems that Papa Andy has decided not to take the doctor's advise to change for a higher chemo dose so there are only a few more treatments left for Cassidy. Let us pray fervently that God protects Cassidy from any future cancer even without the added chemo and helps her to quickly adapt to her prosthesis so she can start walking and running without help. Pray that whatever final decision Mama and Papa made, God give them peace in their hearts and sustain their faith and trust in Him. Amen.
