Chase's lipase levels have been ranging from 3,000-6,000 (lipase normal range is 15-208) which has been preventing him from being able to eat or drink. Every time they would allow him to drink, his levels would go up so high his doctors were afraid it would cause even more problems to his pancreas. His physicians said it could take weeks or months for his amylase and lipase levels to drop to normal range. Well, on Saturday his blood work showed all levels were normal. The doctor felt there must have been a mistake so he wanted a repeat labs on Sunday. Well, Chase's levels on Sunday were even lower. Chase's doctor told us he does not have a medical explanation of how this happened but that HE IS A MIRACLE - IT HAS BEEN THE POWER OF PRAYER. How GREAT IS OUR GOD!! It is so powerful to witness what GOD can do.

Chase was able to eat his first meal in two months this morning. He ate two bowls of cereal, eggs and ham. He enjoyed every bite!
For the past several days Chase has been walking around EVERYWHERE. He has not used his wheelchair at all. Last week they did an x-ray on Chase's spine. His doctor said his spine looks good and will remove the halo in 2 - 3 weeks. (A month earlier than the original date) We will know tomorrow if Chase will come home for sure this weekend.

Thank you all for the prayers!

Love,
Lisa
