Let’s help Chance fight!

This is Chance, he is an energetic, loving, thoughtful and on the go 4 year old boy, I’ve had the pleasure of knowing all his life. While he has spent most of those years scaring everyone who knows and loves him with his dare devil ways this time it is much different. On Sunday December 3rd Chance started to complain that his leg hurt and shorty after he started with a fever. He had just gotten over Strep and his big sister just tested positive for it on that same Sunday, so of course we thought the two symptoms were unrelated and he needed to be tested for Strep again. Monday when that test came out negative and the pain and fever kept getting worse his amazing mother knew something wasn’t right and made sure she was doing everything she could to get answers. After some more tests Chance was only getting worse and ended up being sent to the hospital where he has remained since. Mr. Chancey has Sepsis Staph Aureus. This diagnosis actually came pretty quick in the hospital stay and they were able to start treating the infection immediately however he was not improving and he had to under go many tests and long physical and emotionally painful days. After a second look at some of those test results the infection was finally located in his Tibia and he was finally able to kick his awful fever. Chance had to go under today in order to get a Picc which allows Chance and his mom to come back home to big sister Makenna, and their furry family members. This of course is very over joying however this isn’t the end of their very long road to recovery. Chance will be on his antibiotics administered through the mentioned Picc with visiting nurses and around the clock supervision from mom. This will go on for at least 6 to 8 weeks however it could be longer. With that being said, Krista is unable to work during this time. So I’m asking for my best friend and her kids who I love as my own for whatever help you may have to offer. Even if you can simply hit the share button I would appreciate it more than you know. Let’s show this amazing family that they can and will get through this, because together we fight!
