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

Some updates!

Hello Everyone, you must be wondering where Cassidy is lately. Well, we've been busy with Chinese New Year celebrations and then back to SickKids doing some scans so we lost track of times. After a cold cold windy weekend, Cassidy was back at SickKids yesterday for CT Scan and Bone Scan in the morning and then has gone back to Bloorview last night. There will be an MRI next week at SickKids and then perhaps by next Friday, CaCa will be discharged from Bloorview and change into Day Patient status.

CaCa was supposed to be discharged this Friday but there are a few more things to be sorted out and CaCa has to learn to use the washroom independently before she goes home. So let us pray for Cassidy to have strength to work hard at handling her prosthesis and moving around when using the washroom. Also pray for God to prepare her both physically and emotionally to adapt well back home and for Mommy, Daddy and GorGor Aaron to have wisdom from God to make the home safe and comfy for CaCa.

The nurses were telling Mommy that CaCa's leg will begin to feel pain as the nerves start to work and CaCa is recently feeling the pain in her leg. Nurses said it will help if the leg is often touched but CaCa is mostly afraid of touching her leg. So please pray for God to give courage to CaCa to feel around her leg more to help the nerves learn the new feelings in the skin to make the "pain" feeling go away. And pray that God will comfort CaCa whenever the leg hurts again and help her to be joyful about it as it is a good sign of the new nerves working. Pray also for all doctors and nurses to have wisdom from God to continue to give the best treatment and care to our little princess.

As CaCa gets discharged from Bloorview and change to Day Patient, she will then need to get up really really early everyday to take the Bloorview Bus to go to Bloorview for school and rehab, and we are worrying that this would create new stresses for CaCa as well as the rest of the family. Please pray for God to work things out for CaCa that we can either find a better alternative to dragging her out of bed so early to catch the bus or for CaCa to have the strength and health to adapt to this harsh schedule.

There will be many changes in the weeks and months to come, CaCa can't wait to go home and celebrate her new life with everyone. Furthermore, we are in the planning for our trip to Disney Florida this July. So pray for God to guide us all through the coming months and also pray for God to reveal His plan for us all.
