Chase is Back Home Again!
Chase continued to do well off the ventilator last night with stable vitals. This was simply amazing progress from the condition when he was admitted early Friday morning. Most of the medical staff were speechless (perhaps to avoid having to eat some words) particularly those who were so pessimistic on Friday afternoon. I’m sure this experience is another reminder to them that things aren’t in our control and in this case, Divine Intervention was certainly present.
Chase’s condition improved to the point that they were comfortable discharging him from the hospital this evening and allowing us to take him home with the training and experience that we’ve gained in caring for his trach, oxygenation, etc. Once again, the pace that we’ve been eased into this learning experience has been a real blessing – if it wasn’t for the last procedures we had done in late June (tracheotomy, shunt, etc.) this would’ve been a very difficult transition; however, we’re quite comfortable with it now and we’re very happy to have Chase back home.
Although he’s continuing to slowly respond and come out of his “deep sleep”, he still has a long way to go to even get back to where he was last week, before this hospitalization. Perhaps his body is slowly resorbing the fluid (including the recent tumor bleed) and this is enabling the pressure to gradually subside. Whether this is the case, or it’s simply Divine Intervention due to our faith and the multitude of Prayer Warriors who are staying vigilant in this cause, we’re extremely grateful to still have Chase with us and we remain hopeful that he will continue recovering.
We’ll keep you posted on Chase’s continued progress as we prepare for the prayer service next Sunday, Sept 3rd at 3 pm. The contact info is in the update from this past weekend. Anyone is welcome to attend and if not in person, you can join us in spirit as we continue to lift Chase in faith and light. In preparation for this service, we’ll be using the novena prayers below:
We plan to use these prayers during our group session on Thursday at 12 noon EST.
Thanks again for all the prayers and support – it really helped us through the toughest period we’ve had since Chase’s diagnosis. God Bless!
