Katie and Chris,

I just saw the latest picture of Chase and it melted my heart. It's so great to see him awake, alert and sucking on his binky. We continue to keep all three of you in our prayers.

Take care,
Beth and Dave Gillum

Katie & Chris,
It made my day to see Chase looking so good. I think being held by Mom is the best medicine anyone could have! I'm still working on researching Missouri services. Big hugs to all three of you!
Love,
Patty & Doug

Katie and Chris,
I know what you are feeling right now first hand. I too have a son with Brachytelephalangic Chondrodysplasia Punctata. He began prematurely and spent 2 1/2 months in the NICU. They ran all sorts of tests and gave us a bleak prognosis but now he's doing so well. Making so much progress so keep the faith and remember that the doctors basically know nothing about this condition and mostly they are wrong. You guys will get each other through this difficult time and things will get easier. Chase is absolutely beautiful. What a gift from God! If you need to talk you can contact me anytime.

God Bless you all,

Dear Katie and Chris,
We are so grateful to be able to read your beautiful diary of Chase's Journey. Our hearts go out to you as the three of you travel this difficult road. But today's great picture of Chase made us literally cheer as he sucked his purple binky and seemed to be saying "I'm a tough little guy Mom and Dad"! Thinking about you all and sending our prayers.

Katie-

It's Wendy (Williams) McNicholas, I just spoke to your mom and she filled me in on Mr. Chase and the journey since we saw you all a few weeks back. He is so precious! You are in my thoughts and prayers. If there is anything we can do we are just a phone call away. Will check in often to view the updates.

Thinking of you!
Wendy

Katie and Chris,
It was so good to catch up on how Chase and you guys are doing. What troopers! I'm so glad that he looks so alert and that you were able to hold him for longer. The latest picture with his purple pacifier left me with a HUGE smile on my face. What a handsome, strong, brave little man you have - just like his mom and dad. Stay strong. You both are amazing parents and I'm thinking about you all the time! Love you guys!
