Chase is doing well so far. The doctors tried to extubate (take him off the ventilator) him, but he just didn't respond well. They will try again next week. He's been off all the blood pressure medicine for 24 hours and they'll begin what they call "trophic feeding," 3 cc of mom's milk will be given every 3 hours. Let's pray & hope that his tiny little tummy can process it.
Charissa is still up & down on her blood pressure. Nothing new here. Seems that the hydrocortisone helped a little but not as miraculously as it did with Chase. One bit of good news, they lowered the pressure on the ventilator, which means that her lungs are getting stronger.
Both Chase & Charissa will get another head ultrasound tomorrow.
Chelsea is not doing well and all our tears have been spent on her. We don't know how much more we can cry and pray to our Lord, so we ask you to pray & cry for us; please be our strength. Yu Ran's parents, my sister, and brother-in-law have been an enormous help to us these past few days, and we thank God for wonderful family. The most difficult part is to see her lying on her back all swollen, now up to 2 1/2 times her normal size & to see her right toes all black. She was doing the best out of all three of them. She was off the blood pressure medicine first, she was about to come off the ventilator, she had already her first trophic feeding. But then an infection ravaged her body & in the course of a few days, she's.... Lord have mercy on her.... But our faith does not waver, if you are willing Lord, please heal her....
Firmly in His Hands,
Young, Yu Ran, Chase, Charissa, & Chelsea

Having seen her do so well on Sunday, it must be absolutely heart-wrenching to see Chelsea right now. But I pray that she will recover. She is a fighter.
I also pray that Chace and Charissa make progress.
We are praying, we are praying, we are praying. God can move in miraculous ways, with no regard to the logical, no heed for the factual, no obedience to the laws of nature that He, after all, created. We all have read of Jesus' wondrous healings, and He does so to this day. I know it. So with shameless boldness we now ask our Lord and our God that Chelsea, His warrior-princess, be completely restored, as if the infection never happened, as if these last few days were nothing but a bad dream. We claim this victory for His Kingdom!
Young and Yu Ran,
Thank you for starting this blog, its absolutely heartbreaking. Chase, Charissa and Chelsea are in my thoughts. I know my mother put their names on the prayer board at the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur Mission Center where she works. All the nuns are praying for the triplets. I hope everyone's prayers are answered.

Praying with/for you all.
Pastor Young, you and your family are in my prayers. There isn't a doubt in my mind He is helping them fight through. Stay strong...
My brothers and I are praying for you during this hard time. We pray that Chase and Charissa will continue to do better and you are constantly on our minds. We are eager for the next blog to see the results. Deepest regards and God bless you.
