Day 10 Monday, March 30, 2009


Chase had a small set back this morning. This weekend his stomach has been hurting really bad. They did another CT and found a cyst on his pancreas that is like a ulcer. He was getting nutrition from a feeding tube but they have taken it completely away. The formula was causing the irritability and pain, because of the cyst.Enzymes are also back up in the
pancreas.Since the tube has been out his,stomach is settling down. The ulcer could have been caused from the trauma and stress from the accident. Hopefully in a few days they will be able to try again. He is not in rehab. He is now considered in a medical room. But he is in the same room. Just he will not be having the physical therapist for a few days. Lisa and Dwayne will continue the exercises with him to help build his muscles up. As far as mobility, chase is still moving his feet and his legs a little. Still no upper movement. Chase is a fighter and is fighting with all of his might. We are all so proud of him. Chase is still enjoying his movies, they seem to help calm and soothe him. Please pray that this cyst will heal fast and that he will be able to start back his intense therapy and will be walking and running ASAP!!
