Everyone, please pray for Chase! ! ! I received a text from Robin today......Chase is in ICU, on a ventilator right now. It started out with a strep infection that turned into Scarlet Fever. Please pray!
She said she would call with more details tonight, and I'll update everyone then.

UPDATE:
Chase did not end up having to be put on the vent. The docs say if he continues to be responsive, and his blood pressure will stay up, they will not put him on it. He has tubes everywhere, 4 antibiotics, oxygen, etc. He has Toxic Shock Syndrome. His kidneys are functioning a bit now, and that's a good thing.
Thanks so much for your prayers!!

I had been hoping the same thing, Barb. And actually, he did go home!! (Had been in the hospital for six days) Then had to be rushed by ambulance back there and is now in ICU.
Can't imagine Chase with no spunk!!

Just got a phone call from Robin. She said last night was very very hard, and that the doctors thought Chase might not survive. I can't imagine hearing that!!!!! They decided to try a procedure that was experimental......some sort of infusion over six hours. This morning, his heart rate is back to normal, his blood pressure is almost normal, he is talking (I even got to talk to him on the phone and he said "I'm fine")!!!!! She said his entire body is very swollen, and the docs said there is swelling inside too....around his heart, etc. While we were talking, another doctor came in and told her he was still very very concerned because Chase's liver enzymes were very elevated. She pointed out how many positive things she had seen overnight with Chase, and the doc remained concerned. Still.......it sounds like improvement! ! !
She says to tell everyone THANK YOU for all the prayers! ! !
