Week 19 October 22nd - October 28th

Clark Family Update: Day 129
Friday October 24th 3:00 pm
Day 35 at home

The last few days have been interesting. The Seizure medication that Chase was on caused him to be extremely emotional. He was experiencing drastic mood swings, and was slipping into a depression. He has been so happy and positive this whole experience so this last week has been scary. We were super relived when we figured out it was the medicine (and by we, I mean Phil) He is now back to his normal self, and it was just in time for some not so awesome news.

They have rescheduled Chases's surgery. The MRI results showed that there is still a little brain swelling. The doctor pushed surgery back tentatively to the 6th of November instead of the 28th of October. Chase did not get his G-Tube out either. They decided to keep it in in case of complications in surgery. Kind of a bummer week for Chase, but he is just rolling with it.

Chase was asked to bear his testimony in Stake Conference in a few weeks. Uhm? Okay! I will just have him write it down, read it and I can be the interpreter, or perhaps the Lord will grant him a miracle and he will be able to do it himself.

He tells me everyday that I am his best friend, Though I usually rank as #2 best friend. He loves me, he's happy, so I'm happy. Not much else matters when you have the love of 5 angels. I am blessed to have Phil, he is usually in the background arranging things so that I look good in everything I do. I am usually a compete wreck behind the scenes and he just goes about picking up the slack and making everything come together beautifully. I try to the same for him, but sometimes I make it worse, and provides him with endless entertainment.

We are still praying daily for his soft palette to work. He is definitely speaking a little better, but we continue to petition the Lord to heal him in his own time. We are praying that everything happens when it should. We are in no hurry for surgery if it isn't the best time for Chase. We pray the Lord blesses you. Thank you for your love and continued support. We are Legion!
