We had a very peaceful and relaxing weekend at a cottage by the lake. We actually didn't do much but just spent most of the time there reading. Even though we chose to run away from the city and stay in the countryside, we still found ourselves busy in preparing meals and the special diet for Cass as we brought along with us a lot of homemade food, healthy stuff and Chinese herbal medications.

Reading, Reading & Reading.. So good! Cass with Mama |
During our prayer times, both Aaron and Cass stated that September would be very important to them....Aaron would start school in one more week while Cass would start with a series of scans and tests again (MRI, bone scan, echo, ECG, blood work, etc…..) before her next round of chemo. Because of such a complicated and busy schedule, we could never be able to quietly figure out the appropriate date for her to start her high school term (regardless of whether she would stay in Bill Crothers or would move to another high school). Further, if we agree to use the new chemo drug, we still have a lot of unknowns, especially about what kind of side effects it could have on Cass's body.
As the summer holidays just came to the end and the new school term has just resumed, I prayed that everybody had a good school year. Please continue to pray for us and ask that God refresh our mind such that we can reorganize ourselves in the new term. Pray that Cass can physically stay up for the busy hospital schedules and the necessary medical checkups and tests. Pray that Arron can quickly adapt to his new school term of his 2nd year program, and pray that Andy and I can continue to pick up God’s pace and patiently follow Him step by step.
The view is impeccable and beautiful. Glad to know all of you enjoyed the cottage and the time you spent together. We will keep praying for your family and may GOD's blessing be with you all the time.
