Chase had a wonderful Easter. Family and Friends came to visit us throughout the day. Chase, Dylan and his cousins hunted Easter Eggs together, they had such a good time. Chase was in great spirits. He had a really good day.

Today he was able to sit up on his own for several minutes. He stood up with assistance for 30 minutes to build up the muscles in his legs. He is not able to stand full body weight on his legs yet but he is working so hard to get to that point. Chase has a lot of pain in his shoulders which is hard to really work on those arms in therapy. His arms, hands, and fingers have some movement just not strong movements. He is a trooper though! He fights through that pain and will do whatever the therapist tells him to. The double vision came back so he has to wear a patch over his eye. His speech is improving everyday. The therapist are very impressed at how well he can read. (THANK YOU, MRS. WARD - RES)
Chase has a swallowing test scheduled for tomorrow to see if its safe to eat.
Please continue to pray for him - pray for his mobility, his swallowing test, his strength.
We love you all and are so thankful for all the support that has been given to our family. You don't know how much it means to us and how your support has made us stronger as a person and as a family. We are truly blessed.

Love,
Dwayne, Lisa, and Dylan.
