Last Update the Day After Surgery.

As the day progressed Chase stopped complaining about his bed sore, so hopefully it means it is healing and not getting worse. My dad says he looks far worse today then he did right after surgery. Whitney came and gave my mom and dad a well needed break. Chase recognized her and said "Hi Whit" but he was still in and out of sleep and pretty out of it. They were able to get Chase up and walk him around a little bit. Lance flew in and my mom took him and Chemene out to lunch (luckily they missed the whole allergic reaction). Lance was able to come and see Chase for a little bit and then him, Chemene and the grandkids headed back to Montpelier. My mom said how polite Chase is being everytime a nurse comes in and does anything he always thanks them even if he is out of it. I think it is funny that the nurse that he about took out during his allergic reaction said he is such a sweetheart. There has been a lot of progress throughout the day. I just got off the phone with my dad at 9pm, he said Chase was eating green jello as we spoke. He is alert and talking. If he keeps the jello down, they will start administering his medication by mouth. Great progress for one day if you ask me, although it is not fast enough for Chase and my parents, but they feel good about the day.
