HOUSTON (July 11, 2014)

Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital is pleased to report that patient Cassidy Stay, 15, was discharged earlier today in good condition and is expected to make a full recovery. As a hospital team, we were honored to be able to help care for this brave young woman at her critical time of need.

The entire staff at Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital has been profoundly touched by Cassidy’s resilient spirit, inner strength, and hopeful heart during this time of indescribable shock and grief. We extend our deepest sympathies and condolences to her, and her extended family, as they begin the difficult healing process.

The family asks that media please continue to respect their privacy until further notice. They also would like to thank the community, both here in Houston and all over the country, for the outpouring of love and support they have received these past several days.
