State Patrol Brightens Hospital Stay For Tilden Girl

The Nebraska State Patrol brightened the day of a Tilden girl during a recent hospital stay in Omaha.

Cassidy Frey, 8-year-old daughter of Terry and Rachel Frey, was at Children’s Hospital for surgery recently when two members of the Nebraska State Patrol stopped by for a visit.

“Cassidy was having a hard time after surgery. The NSP made her smile and mixed up her day, so she just didn't lay in bed all day,” her mom said.” The NSP visits the children every year around this time and give stuffed animals to all the kids. We were so thankful for the troopers above and beyond support.”

According to her mom, Cassidy was in the hospital for a left frontal craniotomy. She had been having severe headaches since the end of July, and doctors thought she was having migraines.

“Dr. Brad Locke was amazing and dug deeper until he found what was the problem. He is an amazing doctor and Antelope Memorial Hospital is blessed to have him,” Frey said. “She had a big lump on her head which resulted in a CT that revealed the true problem. They removed that part of her skull and replaced it with titanium mesh plate.”
