Everything is on track.

Sorry for not being able to update this prayer page as often as the main Cassidy's Journey page, if you find this page outdated sometimes, do feel free to wonder to CaCa's blog main page for updates.

Cassidy had her second surgery on Sept 14 to amputate the lower portion of her leg from the last Rotationplasty surgery. It was originally planned that there would be weeks of plastic surgeries to expand the skins and muscles around the wound to close up the incision after the second surgery, but our Father God has amazingly provided that the doctors were able to pull enough skins and muscles to close off the wound once and for all so that CaCa would not need to go through weeks of painful skin stretching surgeries. Praise God for His timely providence.

Chemotherapy will start this weekend and sometime next week, CaCa will be transferred to Bloorview Kids Rehab Centre for rehab therapy.

> Pls pray that God minimizes the side effects in this round(s) of chemo.

> Pray that Cassidy responds well to treatment so the chemo is effective in killing the tumor cells.

> Pray that rehab goes well and God to minimizes any pain.

> Pray for CaCa to adapt well to changes of both residence and treatments, as well as her education arrangements.

> Pray for Carmen and Andy's physical and spiritual strength and health as they also go through all these changes with Cassidy.

> Pray for Aaron as he works hard at school and busy with many extra curriculum activities. Pray for his health and spiritual growth as he goes through the whole family event.

Still holding on for now...

Cassidy's condition has been back and forth since the last posting. Chemo has finally started on August 23 and CaCa responded well with very minimal side effects. Praise God for that.

Cassidy's surgeon was predicting that the next surgery will be to amputate due to the massive non-recovering damaged tissue in her lower leg. Please continue to pray for her leg to heal and for God to perform a miracle on Cassidy if God is willing.

Cassidy's platelet counts are very low and she is receiving blood product from transfusion almost every evening. Please pray that her body stays strong to endure all the medication and to grow even stronger as she will soon face another big surgery.

Carmen is suffering from a very bad flu and needs to stay away from Cassidy. But CaCa is missing mommy very much and wants mommy to stay with her over night at the hospital. Please pray for quick recovery on Carmen so she can take up her shift to stay with CaCa again. Also pray for Andy to remain healthy to take care of work, home, and Cassidy at the hospital.
