Wednesday was a hard day. Chase began his rehab and he was a trooper the whole way! He did not complain one bit and tried to do everything he was asked. He was unable to get into the wheelchair or sit up, but we still have hope that this will happen soon. They are planning on keeping the Halo on for 3 months. He is considered having a c4 paralization, but with all this intense therapy he is about to undergo there is a lot hope of him recovering from this injury. This is from the chest down. He was able to move his shoulders up and down and wiggle his toes during therapy. This is very good! Last night while I was there Lisa asked him to wiggle his toes, Chase quickly said No. It was not that he couldn't wiggle his toes, it's that he didn't want to, but Lisa quickly encouraged him and he did it anyway. Those of you who know Chase, know that this is our Chase coming back! If you know him he has taking his own time his entire life at reaching his milestones. Its when he wants to, not when you want him to, or when someone says he should be doing it.


Day 6 continued...

Thursday morning:

This morning you can hear the hope in Lisa's voice. She says morning are so much better than afternoons. This morning Chase not only moved his leg, he kicked his leg!!!! He also wiggled his toes, and can still move his shoulders up an down. They were talking about moving Chase to rehab on Monday, but this morning they have decided that hopefully he will get to go today but they are still waiting to hear back from this. Hopefully this move and transition will go well. This morning they were able to remove the G-tube and Chase was able to drink his first drink of Apple juice since Sat.. Boy, I am sure it was the best Apple Juice ever!! Morning are much better than afternoons and Lisa says they make more progress in the mornings. They are also slowly weaning him off of some of his pain meds. Also Chase's new craving is one of Dwayne's famous bologna sandwiches!!!! And Cheese pizza's from Papas Pizza to go! Bless him!!!!

Chase has many obstacles to over come. He is having a few improvements daily and we are trying to focus on the positive, but he still needs everyone praying for him and lifting him up. He is taking baby steps to get better, and we need God involved in each one. Without him none of these steps would have been possible. He has a very long road ahead. Please keep praying for him. We want to see him walk out if the hospital and make a full recovery! He needs everyone's support and so does Dwayne, Lisa, & Dylan.. Please don't stop praying for Chase cause he still needs our prayers to over come many other things that may not have been mentioned.

Great news for Logan. Logan is on his way home today!!! Way to go Logan !!
