How nice it is to be home with my family. We enjoyed going to church Sunday for the first time since the accident. Pastor Darryl gave Chase a "SuperChase" trophy for overcoming "super" challenges through his journey. Chase is sooo proud of that trophy. We are transfering to anniston for therapy 3x a week. So much closer to home. Chase will go back to school on august 10th and he is excited about that. He is ready to see all his friends. Chase is doing really good!

Thank you all for the prayers!

We love you-
Dwayne, Lisa, Dylan and Chase

Today is the big day! We are going home "for good"! We have grown to love so many wonderful people and families at Scottish Rite and at the Ronald McDonald home. We will miss them dearly. They will always have a special place in our heart.

Wow- have I learned so much from this journey. I've learned what a strong and determined little boy I have. I've learned how life can change in a blink of an eye. My family has been though so many emotions and trials but we come through it all together. We never gave up hope, kept the faith, and this has changed me for the better. We pulled strength from those people who supported us through this journey. This journey has been tough but amazing at the same time. No doubt - WITH GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

THANK YOU to those who stood by us every step of the way. Everyone that prayed and helped us through this. I could not imagine going through this alone. It would have been horrible. I have the best friends in the world and a WONDERFUL FAMILY. OUR CHURCH, community, school, and my job, Bowdon Homecare, are absolutely the best people in the world. I am so very blessed.

We love you all!


Love you all!
Dwayne, Lisa, Dylan and Chase

We are counting down the days! Next Friday, July 24th, will be Chase's last day at Day Rehab at Scottish Rite. We will be coming home permanently!! It's very excited to be going back to a normal life again and be home together as a family.

Chase is doing very well in rehab. He's been a trooper! Each week he's getting stronger in his strength and coordination which are great signs. It takes the spine one year to heal so we want him to continue to improve everyday so he can hopefully make a complete recovery. The doctors say he can never play contact sports but we are not given up on baseball. Chase really wants to play baseball again. His therapist are working on "How" Chase is walking. He has some weakness in his ankles and knees that are causing some issues but he will continue therapy closer to home 3x/ per week (in Anniston) to work on strenthing these areas and also his upper body. He will have to wear braces on his legs hopefully temporarily and will continue to wear a brace on his neck for another month. He had x-rays on his spine today. His neurosurgeon said he his healing very well and is also very pleased with the progress of his recovery. His word was "unbelievable" and my words were "Praise God"!

Please continue to pray for Chase. We want to again Thank you all for the continue prayers and support. We love you all!

Love,
Dwayne, Lisa, Dylan, & Chase

We all had a great 4th of July weekend. Chase was excited to go to his brothers ballgame. He had fun swimming and fishing with his cousins and friends. He also had a good time spending the day with his best buddy, Andy Merrell.

We are back at rehab after a fun weekend at home. Chase is doing very good with his mobility. Each day he gains strength and keeps getting stronger. We pray that God will continue to heal his body - we have been blessed with all that Chase has accomplished in his rehabilitation.

We love you and ask that you will continue to pray for Chase.

Love,
Dwayne, Lisa, Dylan and Chase.
