She has more energy after the angioplasty procedure and was able to start taking a few classes! Also the COTA t-shirt fundraiser was a success and we have met the fundraising goal.

We are requesting prayer, because this procedure is believed to have caused her painful bout of pancreatitis. The surgeon will remove her stents and determine if her bile ducts are strong enough or if stents are still needed. If determined that the opening is too narrow, one to two stents will be inserted into Cassidy&#8217;s bile duct and will need to be removed in two to three months. We are praying that her bile ducts are strong and not in need of stents and that she does not&nbsp;develop pancreatitis again. Two key differences between this time and the last, is that Cassidy is much stronger now and she has a functioning liver that has been in her for two months.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">The following day, she will undergo another liver biopsy and some exploratory work to see why there is blood flow challenges to her liver. Please keep Cassidy in your thoughts and prayers. We are praying that her body is NOT rejecting her liver, that she doesn&#8217;t need additional stents and that we can come home soon!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">Goya &#8216;Ohana<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"jsc_c_jw\" class=\"x1n2onr6\">\n<div class=\"x1n2onr6\">\n<div class=\"x6s0dn4 x78zum5 xdt5ytf x6ikm8r x10wlt62 x1n2onr6 xh8yej3 x1jx94hy\">\n<div class=\"xqtp20y x6ikm8r x10wlt62 x1n2onr6\">\n<div class=\"x10l6tqk x13vifvy\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x1o1ewxj x3x9cwd x1e5q0jg x13rtm0m x1ey2m1c xds687c xg01cxk x47corl x10l6tqk x17qophe x13vifvy x1ebt8du x19991ni x1dhq9h\" data-visualcompletion=\"ignore\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aloha &#8216;Ohana, Just wanted to send an update and humbly ask for more prayers during these few bumps in her recovery. &nbsp; Praises- Cassidy is able to eat solid food and has been putting on healthy weight.
