Cassie continued to remain stable throughout the night and was brought into the OR early this morning to reduce her dependence on ECMO. Cassie officially moved off VA ECMO (which supports the heart and the lungs) to VV ECMO (which will only be supporting her lungs as they continue to reduce the fluid built up inside of them). She has now also been reduced to the lowest setting in the VV ECMO and it is supporting her lungs. This is significant progress in her recovery and it will be a critical 24 hours for her as her new heart will now be working independently. The ICU team’s goal for the day is for her to remain stable and monitor her heart closely.

My husband, Mike McClurg, is the Pastor of the Findlay first church of the Nazarene. We are also neighbors. Just wanted you to know that our church is praying for Cassie’s recovery. Mike paused his sermon on Easter Sunday to say a special prayer for her and your family. We will continue to pray and believe for her total recovery.
