and he is one very sick young man. Robin is being incredibly strong and doing a great job for him - holding up better than I think I could. I have to admit that I was numb for a little while after I left them.
I stayed for a few hours this afternoon, and was overwhelmed at the number of machines and the apparatus attached to him. He is on a ventilator, and has a dedicated nurse in his room, who is literally not allowed to leave, which is honestly a good thing. He is resting far more comfortably now because they medically induced a type of coma this morning. It was hard to see him like that, but his body needs some respite from the pain very badly, and an opportunity to heal.
I'm not sure what else to say, except that Chase needs the prayers and good wishes of his friends all over the world. Please continue to pray, and if you have a message for Robin, post it here. I'm going to go back to the hospital tomorrow morning, and will print any responses out for her to see - I know she would appreciate it very much.
Hug your babies tonight......
Laura

I am just seeing this....and I am SICK about it! What in the WORLD??? Things are not supposed to go this way! It's supposed to be EASIER as our kids get older. This is not fair! (picture me stomping my foot with my arms crossed!) I am saying a million prayers for Chase right now!
Lord, I lift Chase up to you. Let hi breath breaths that are light as air, let his heart beat smooth and in rhythm like a clock, let the excess fluids leave his body like a gentle stream. Let Chase, and his family see, hear and feel the power of your healing touch. Amen.

I don't post much but do read posts. I'm so sorry to hear this. I've been following your updates and just had to post. I will keep Chase and Robin in my prayers. I remember all too well how awful it is to be in a situation like this and feeling so helpless. Thank you for the updates. Mary Grace

Robin...please know that you and Chase are in my constant thoughts. Katie and Marnie used to read UNO years ago and remember the Chase stories so they too are praying for him, too.
Hugs from me in Texas this morning.
Love Jackie

Sorry to be so late in updating. I intended to visit this morning, but got a late start because we had a surprise snow last night and road conditions were nasty.
Chase's condition today is much the same as yesterday. He looks a little better, or maybe I was just ready for it today. They tried tube feeding yesterday, but are discontinuing it today because it wasn't going well. They did move him to another room, because all of his "stuff" took up to much space!
I printed out all the well wishes from Uno, and the link that Susan provided worked as well. They delivered the messages from the other site while I was there this afternoon. Robin read them all and was really happy to hear from everyone. She also read them aloud to Chase because the nurses say that he can hear us.
There is no discussion yet about bringing him out of the coma, he remains a very sick young man.
Laura
