Still having up's and down's

The doctor is still striving to avoid further surgeries on Cassidy. Although some parts of her lower leg is showing function, there are still other areas with dead skins which need to be treated. Leech therapy and blood transfusion was being ordered again yesterday to help the drainage of standing blood and swelling in her lower leg. And we praise God for arranging the room on the 5th floor for Carmen and Andy to stay so that they can be close to Cassidy.

> Continue to pray for Cassidy's body strength to endure all sorts of treatment and a speedy recovery.

> Keep praying for God to knit up new blood vessels, veins and nerves in her lower leg and for the whole leg to function at full capacity.

> Pray fervently for God to grant wisdom to doctor to make best decisions on Cassidy's treatment.

> Pray for health and strength in Carmen and Andy as they go through this difficult time. And pray for God to continue to provide the room for them to stay at the hospital to be close to Cassidy.

> Pray also for Aaron as he will soon come home from camp at the end of week.

Good signs are coming.....

Cassidy is still in ICU but her condition is now stable, praise God for doctor and nurses who are like angels treating Cassidy in the ICU.

> The bleeding is controlled in CaCa's leg, her vital signs are good, condition is stabled. Praise God for that and please continue to pray for God will be done on Cassidy.

> The leg seems to be starting to work as "cap filling" is seen when the leg is pressed, that is the change of color when the flesh is pressed down. Continue to pray for a good network of veins and nerves to build up to make CaCa's leg to be fully functional.

> Continue to pray for strength and peace in Carmen and Andy. Gor Gor Aaron is at camp, please also pray for his mind and heart as he will be missing Cassidy away from home. Pray for him to have a safe and fun camp.

Cassidy in ICU now.....

The last update says that Cassidy was not in stable condition, they have moved her into ICU.

> Please pray earnestly for God's healing on Cassidy.

> Pray also for God's to give strength to Carmen and Andy at this difficult time.

> Please pass on this urgent prayer request to as many as possible to power up the prayer support at this difficult time.

Pray for the leg to work

> Cassidy's lower leg is still not having good outflow, continue to pray for the new leg to start working, and therefore no need for amputation.

> Pray for God's strength onto Carmen & Andy as they are staying by Cassidy's side every moment.

> Pray for doctor's wisdom to do the best for Cassidy.

Cassidy is in Good Hands - God's Hands

> Cassidy is now in the O.R.. Pray that God will conduct the surgery with His own hands through the hands of the doctors.

> Cassidy's surgery is estimated to be 13 hours long, pray for Carmen, Andy and Aaron's strength and faith during this waiting period.

> Cassidy was still having a little fever when she went in, pray that the fever will not affect her surgery. Also pray that God would restrict any complication and break down any tricks of the devil and that Cassidy will have a successful Rotationplasty procedure.

> Cassidy needs your prayer, the whole Sheng family needs your prayer. Pray also for the well being of the 10 brothers/sisters whom are here at SickKids to support the family, pray that God would speak through us the words of peace and comfort to each other as we all go through this big event with Cassidy.

Big Day Tomorrow!

> Cassidy has been admitted to SickKids, ready for surgery for tomorrow @ 8am. Pray for the fever to come down and surgery to go smooth.

> Extra swelling increased complexity to Rotationplasty procedure. Doctor warned about possible amputation of Cassidy's leg. Pray that God preserves her leg and a successful Rotationplasty procedure.

> Carmen worries that indecisiveness in that last few days may contribute to the complexity in surgery, pray that God calms her heart and help them look forward to what is ahead as they prep Cassidy for tomorrow's surgery. Pray that no one focuses on any faults by anyone but trust in God for His plans and timing.
