Cassidy continues to impress us with her strength as she underwent yet another procedure today. This one was to drain the fluid surrounding the left lung and place the chest tube to allow her lung which was partially collapsed to begin to heal. We are SO thankful that this procedure went better than expected and she was able to breath on her own and avoid another trip to the ICU.
Although she is still struggling through the pain, she has shown so much strength and determination by pushing herself to do her daily physical therapy. She surprised everyone by standing on her own and walking down the hall with very little help. We know all those dreaded softball conditioning days really played a huge role in her recovery!
Prayers moving forward-
- Please pray that the pancreatitis that is causing so much pain will begin to resolve.
- Pray for her recovery….of her body as well as spirit. This has been a long, traumatic experience for her and she will need all the love, prayers and support to begin to heal.
- Praise God that her liver is functioning well and her body is accepting the new liver!
We also wanted to share a bright spot in Cassidy’s day…a gift from the liver team at Stanford, which Cassidy named “Leo the Liver”.

I’m amazed you are doing daily physical therapy with all you’re going through, but not surprised by your courage, strength, and determination. Keep it up! We are so proud of you and love you so much!
I Heart Guts! What a cute (?) pillow and a welcomed bright moment for her. Hoping for more of those bright spots in her future.
Praying God?s healing over you, Cassidy! May the Lord give you comfort and peace as you keep battling through pain management. You are amazing!
Praise God for the strength, determination, and courage He gifts you with to press on. We are so thankful for the challenges you have overcome and continue to pray for healing, pain to be resolved, strength and His love to be with you and your ohana on this journey. Your parents raised an amazing daughter!!!
