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
