Just got an e-mail from Robin, and it sounds like Chase may be turning the corner!
She said he still isn't digesting the tube feedings, but the doctors are assuring her that it will happen. They have switched his sedation to one that can be discontinued in a short time frame and tomorrow if all goes well, they are going to try to take him off the vent!!!!!
She said that his kidneys are functioning almost normally, liver enzymes have come way down (they were sky high), fluid is coming off the lungs, and his white blood cell count has come down.
All of the news at this point is good, but it sounds like our young man still has a tough fight ahead of him and could continue to use our prayers and positive thoughts.
Thank the LORD!!!!
