Chase comes home!

Good Morning everyone!
Chase got to come home yesterday afternoon. He had a full day of therapy before that and did very well. He will be going to physical therapy this afternoon and then to occupational and speech on Monday. After that we'll find out when we're there Monday. He was so excited to come home. He kept asking yesterday at the hospital "Can we go now?" :) Finally we got to take him to the van and bring him home. I asked him on the way if he was happy to be out and he said "Oh yeah!" Our little dog went bolistic when we got him home. I've never seen her so happy. The same went for our cat. They both slept in his room while he was gone.

This is going to be a learning experience for us as well as Chase. We'll be doing some exercises and things with him to help him along with is progress here at home. We've made a few changes to the shower/tub to accomadate him and otherwise haven't had to make too many more. He had a few moments where he was struggling because he wants things to be normal like they used to be. We assured him that we would be here the whole way to help him get back to that. That made him feel a little better. He still feels like it's all a bad dream that he would like to wake up from. If only it were that easy.

We got to have dinner together last night at the table. That was really nice and he enjoyed it a lot. He asked us at the table if he could say something to the whole family. Then he said "I love you all!" It's truly awesome to have him home!

Love,
Michelle
