Critical Injured Teen Returns Home: Family’s Troubles Continue

Assaulted in Paradise

Hey there, young readers! Today, I’ve got a story that’ll tug at your heartstrings. Imagine being on a dream vacation with your family only to have it turn into a nightmare. That’s what happened to Chase Rowan, an 18-year-old from Edmonton, who was seriously injured while in the Dominican Republic. It all went down at a resort bar, where he was attacked. Can you believe it?

A Challenging Recovery

After being put into a medically induced coma, Chase was finally cleared to come back to Canada. But his troubles were far from over. At the University of Alberta Hospital, his family received some tough news – Chase had developed pneumonia and a portion of his skull that was removed in the Dominican Republic hadn’t been put back. Crazy, right? His doctor reassured them that they could 3D print a new piece, but that’s still a lot to take in.

• Keep Chase in your thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.
• Appreciate the healthcare system in your country – not everyone is as fortunate.

Insight: Sometimes, even paradise can turn into a nightmare. It’s important to stay strong and support those going through tough times.

But the troubles didn’t end there. A man from Nova Scotia who was staying at the same resort was arrested and charged with assaulting Chase. His bail was set at a whopping $166,000 USD! That’s more than most of us can imagine. And to add to the stress, Chase’s family is still waiting for the final medical bill. The insurance might cover up to $250,000, but who knows what the final amount will be?

• Be grateful for your family’s safety and well-being.
• Stay aware of your surroundings, even on vacation.

Remember: Tough times don’t last, but tough people do.

Let’s keep Chase and his family in our thoughts and send positive vibes their way. And let’s also cherish our own families and the peace of mind that comes with being safe and sound. Until next time, stay strong, stay safe, and stay positive!
