Cassie continues to remain stable. Overnight she had a CT scan that confirmed there was good brain activity and she continues to pass all neurological exams performed by the medical staff. She rested for most of the morning, but woke up and was able to communicate with the family this afternoon. She is still on standby for the tracheostomy surgery but is scheduled to have that performed today. In the coming days after the surgery is performed the medical staff will be able to give her a speaking valve where she can verbally communicate.
Cassie continues to remain on dialysis as it is helping to offload the fluid from her body. Her pacemaker wires were removed as she has not had to use them since she has been taken off ECMO. Please pass along your prayers to Cassie as she will be heading back into the OR tonight.
