Cassie’s Journey – May 18th

Cassie was able to get some good rest last night to makeup for her sleepless night the day before. This morning she was able to sit up on the side of the bed for 18 minutes with the support of PT/ OT. She did exercises to move both her arms and legs. Later in the morning Cassie was able to sit outside with the support of the medical staff. She absolutely loved her time in the sun! She was able to be outside for 15 minutes before she had to head back inside.

This afternoon she was able to do hand / arm exercises with her favorite physical therapist (her handsome and intelligent son). She has also been back on room air for the past hour and is looking to get to 2 hours today.

There are currently minimal updates on Cassie’s status to provide daily as she has begun the lengthy process of recovery. Instead we will be providing updates on Monday’s and Thursday’s. We greatly appreciate all of you that have followed along with us daily on Cassie’s Journey. You may continue to use this webpage to post comments / prayers daily and the family will continue to read them off to Cassie.

Your thoughts, prayers, and outflow of love have helped Cassie and the family get through the most difficult moments of our lives.

    I know I don’t reply in here much, but Cassie, I want you to know that I have been thinking and praying for you often. I have this bookmarked and check in often to see your progress and look forward to hearing your “voice” and that of Kurt and your (very handsome and intelligent)sons in these updates.
    If there is anything I can do to help your district close up for the year in regard to gifted, please let me know. You’ve always been such a good friend to all of your sisters, myself included!
    Continued prayers for you, dear Cassie! LITB, Shannon

    We are so happy to hear the progress you are making. Glad to know you got to feel the sunshine as it’s been a pretty wet, cold and cloudy spring so far. Now you get to be the student one more time, but how wonderful is it to be taught by your loving son. What a blessing. We are all here waiting patiently for your return home. Can’t wait to see your smiling face. Keep up the good work Cassie.
