I'm here with Jen for this update.
Yesterday evening, chase was quite alert - he reached up and grabbed a picture of grandma Hunzeker.
Chase is continually showing nurses when his diaper is wet, and pointing to his jaw for pain.
He has begun "storming" which is a phase of recovery where your brain is trying to reconnect with all systems.
The doctors have put him on a medication to calm him during these episodes.
It is unclear how long storming will last, it could last up to 3 months. The medication is to keep him from re-injuring his brain during storming. His brain is still healing.
As he transfers to the floor, hopefully today, he will begin more therapy, and Jen and Justin will be more a part of the process.
Will update more later.

Jess, glad you made it safely to Utah and are able to be with the rest of your family. We will continue to pray for Chase's brain to heal and that when he gets to the floor he'll continue to progress. It's so good to hear of the progress he is making, slow yet steady. Give our love and prayers to everyone.
ReplyDeleteAlso, my friend Cindy has been keeping up with Chase's progress and will also be fasting on Sunday for Chase. She is keeping Chase in her thoughts and prayers.
