Happy Easter Sunday! Today is one day of many to appreciate sacrifice and believe that God’s message will become known with patience and perseverance. Thank you to Pastor Dan Metzger for the lovely message this morning at St. Mark’s Methodist Church and for the outpouring support and prayers we continue to receive for Cassie.
Cassie had another stable and productive evening. She was able to adequately offload fluid (with kidney assist) and maintain progress towards recovery. She continues to rely on ECMO support to offload stress on her new heart and recovering lungs, with the goal to decrease support while maintaining proper blood flow into all extremities. Support will be weaned slowly as they continue to struggle to maintain proper blood flow into her left leg without assistance.
All neurologic tests continue to be positive, and the team is having to increase pain management as she is starting to become more aware of her surroundings.
The care team goals are to string together a multitude of stable days to allow her body adequate recovery. We will continue to update regularly as she crosses milestones under the assumption that this process is lengthy.
