Encouragement and fun moments

I prayed at Ca's bedside before I headed to church with Aaron this Sunday morning. Daddy was staying behind with Cass. My heart ached every time when I watched her fragile body lying in her bed. I prayed for God's healing power and mercy on her, and pray that Cass will have some little fun moments to go on her days. She's been so strong and so active even after her major surgery on May 12. Despite her pain on her shoulder and back, and the shortness of breath because of the removal of the lower lobe of her right lung in May, she has been recovering so well. She just got back to swimming about 6 weeks after the surgery. It's so hard to imagine that she was still swimming to the island, doing her favourite water skiing and having so much fun at Camp Ooch. But just one week after that, she turned to be so sick that she needed to take chemo and radiation. After all, the doctors appeared to indicate that such the suggested medication was not for curing, but just for prolonging life and controlling her pain!

I simply prayed for an easy day and fun moments for Cass. We saw God's love on Cass when she was so surprised by the handmade smiley flower from Auntie Ingrid. Every stitch expresses the love and care from Ingrid and God. Cass’ besties from the camp and from the swimming team came to see her and stayed a bit to chat with her. Also, Karen E E from Hong Kong sent her the calligraphy of "Strength". Those were what Cass needed for her day to day encouragement. We thank God for lots of love, care, support, and prayers from our church, friends and families.

Our schedule tomorrow is to go to Sickkids at around 10:00 a.m. for blood work. Then return to the hospital on Thursday for the PORT replacement surgery for the next cycle of chemo. Please continue to pray for Cass and our family.
