We had another great prayer service for Chase this past weekend – it was extremely inspiring and uplifting for us, with about 70 people who joined us in holding Chase up in prayer to the Lord, as well as countless others who were there in spirit. We have no doubt that sessions like this are making a big difference for our whole family to get through this challenge. Although this process of supporting Chase’s recovery is requiring a huge commitment, it’s been worth every effort and we’re certain that it’ll pay off in the long run, regardless of the outcome. Another inspiring story that was recently forwarded to us can be seen on the following link http://cjcphoto.com/can/ - this helps to keep things in perspective….
Chase had a great weekend and has been fairly stable for a while now, other than a few isolated scary moments, which we’ve become pretty proficient at handling. He’s even started to move a bit lately – his right leg, trunk and head occasionally. He seems to be waking up a bit, which we’re sure will continue once he gets more energy as his hemoglobin rises again. We’re slowly making progress with a combination of nutritional supplements, epigen and IV albumin, all administered at home. We monitor Chase’s bloodwork ever other day and the recent results are very encouraging.
In the meantime, Chase is getting a lot of rest, which is what his body clearly needs to recharge the batteries and fight off this tumor. We’re doing our best to keep his spirits up by reading stories, playing music and movies, etc. Anyone is welcome to provide a compilation tape or CD that you think would be uplifting. Chase is probably getting tired of the ones we’ve been playing lately.
As regularly scheduled, we plan to pray collectively on Thursday at 12 noon EST for the miracle of Chase’s return to Divine Health. We’re also going to continue with the monthly prayer services on the first Sunday at 3 pm – the next one will be on November 5th. Thanks again for lifting Chase in prayer and helping us to keep the faith!
God Bless!!
