Just so you can have a face to match with your prayers...here is a picture of Chase and Jillian in January.
As of yesterday, Chase looks tons better. For the first time yesterday, I could recognize that it was him. We still know nothing about how he is physically doing. He is in a medically induced coma, and he is on a paralytic to keep him paralyzed. Today they are taking him off the paralytic. They are going to keep him sedated for a few more days until they see how he does off the paralytic. Specific prayer requests for today are:
- Chase responds well as he's taken off the paralytic.
- The MRI that is done today comes back good so the neck brace can come off.
And ongoing requests are:
- He improves daily so they can remove the ventilator by Wednesday or so.
- As they taper him off the sedation, he comes out of it good.
- Of course, total healing.
UPDATE: He is off the paralytic, and is "responsive" to a squeeze of the foot. They are somewhat disappointed, but we will know more after he's been off the meds for an entire day.
UPDATE #2: They lowered the sedation levels a little bit, and his response was better!
UPDATE #3: I just spoke with Chases' mom, and she was so excited. Chase is definitely responding to people talking, and to 'pain' tests they are giving him. (Like pinches, etc.). We are SOO encouraged!!! Praise the Lord!!!!
