Second Day home

Chase is doing pretty well at home. Tonight he is at his Dad's house with Justin spending the night. Vince wanted to take them over night. It's good to give him a sense of normalcy I think as they would ordinarily have gone there this weekend. Chase is coming along well with things although he's struggling with some depression. That seems like a pretty normal response considering everything he has been through. He cries occasionally when he is hurting or when he starts thinking about what's happening. He hates his back brace and neck brace and is hoping that he doesn't have to wear it too long. That would be nice. But we'll see what the doctor says on the 9th of March.

Physical therapy went well yesterday and the exercises we're doing with him at home are going well also. We keep reminding him of the wonderful progress he's making and how far he has come. We also remind him of how blessed he is to be here and to be able to recover. We're blessed to have him here and so very grateful. He's amazed at the number of people who are praying for him and supporting of him and our family. He simply says "Wow" when I tell him about it. It's wonderful and a huge part of his recovery.

Chase's 5th grade teacher, Mrs. Glade, stopped by to see him and brought him some taffy (her husband is president of Taffy Town). He loved seeing her and I think it meant a lot to him. Thanks to all who have so generously offered prayers and love and support in various ways. We're very grateful for it!

Love,
Michelle
