Chase was born Wednesday at 2:03am. He was 5lbs 13oz and about 20 inches long.
It turns out, Chase was born with a myelomeningocele which is a form of Spina Bifida. He was transferred to Children's in Chicago Wednesday afternoon and had surgery to close the defect yesterday. His leg movement after surgery has been good and we're waiting to make sure he is peeing on his own. He has been sleeping a lot because of his surgery, and has not eaten yet so this is hopefully most likely why he hasn't peed yet. We're hoping that he'll be home in a week or two. He's stong and a fighter so we are pretty confidant that this will hold true. We don't have lots of answers, so we will update as much as we can with what we learn.
