CHECK OUT!!

Chase checked out of the hospital this morning. Flint gave my mom and him a ride to Brigham City to meet my dad. From there they were heading to Island Park to stay in a cabin. Lance, Chemene, Jaycee and Rydge are going to meet them up there. Happy 1st Birthday, Rydge. Hope you all have a good time. My mom said it felt like Christmas morning! What an ordeal. Thankful it is all over. We feel very blessed that everything went so well.

Chase's Surgery Pictures Day by Day

Dad had me freaked out that your pictures were going to be so bad that I wouldn't dare post them on the blog. Well, you don't look pretty, but I think you look pretty good for having had brain surgery!!

The line on his forehead is to mark center so when they stapled things up they didn't staple his forehead back off centered!!

At Chase's request we withheld the bum shot! :)

No News is Good News Post Op Day 6

Chase is up and moving a lot more. He walked to the cafeteria twice and rode a stationary bike for 15 minutes today. My dad and Chase went to church today. He still gets headaches but they say that is normal. He has been cuddling with Rivers again. My dad went home today and my mom stayed with Chase. All is well! All is well! Not much to say and I guess that is good. Can't wait to get you home Chase. (Hint, hint, dad have Lance and Chemene help you post some pictures)

Post Op Day # 5

Sorry I am slow on the updates. I talked to my mom and dad today, they said yesterday Chase continued to have spinal fluid drain from his nose and he had a very bad headache that scared them. They made a decision to stay in the hospital a few more days and get Chase into some physical, speech and occupational therapy. This has been a very good thing for Chase and has helped him to understand behavior this tumor has caused and what to expect in the future. It is hard to commit to staying longer in the hospital, but it is what is best for Chase. My dad said today is the happiest he has seen Chase in a long time. He looks really good and it has to be a good sign that he is starting to notice the hot nurses. In fact he is putting off taking a shower until the cute nurse is back on duty. He has a wheel chair in his room and thinks it is funny to wheel down the hall scaring little kids. My mom said he looks like Frankenstein. He has a three year old that is always peeking into his room to get a look at the monster. :) He did throw up this morning after physical therapy, but my mom said he ate a really good dinner and Amber brought him a smoothie that he ate. He is taking less pain medication. When I called he was cuddling with baby Rivers. He is doing well. The physical therapist want him to finish out his physical therapy through Friday. Chase and my parents made the choice to do physical therapy and they are thinking about coming home Wed. or Thurs. we'll have to see how they all feel next week, they are all getting tired of being in the hospital especially when they were planning to come home today. They are all doing well and very upbeat this evening.

Congratulations Kallie on a new baby girl!!! Can't wait to see her.
