Chance's Journey.

Saturday, August 16, 2008

Chance had lots of visitors today. Bridget and Justin Lee (Chance's teacher for the last couple of years), Gram, Annie, Dee and Quinton. He showed them all how he walks and took them down to the playroom to look at the fish. We all had a very nice visit. It was so nice to see some familiar faces from home. Bryan and I got to spend alittle bit of one-on-one time with Quinton too and that was nice.

Annie brought a whole bunch of goodies from her coworkers at the Perry CAO. Chance actually got into opening the presents and was smiling.

Gram brought a GIANT poster from the football association. It was signed by all of the players, cheerleaders, coaches and some other friends. We're keeping it in his room and when he goes to rehab, we'll hang it on the wall to remind him his friends are waiting for him to come home.

Kim Wood made us an awesome meal. Lasagna, italian bread and chocolate cake with peanut butter icing.,..,.absolutely delicious. Thanks a bunch!!!

We are still watching the swelling. Hopefully, it goes down. No throwing up, and no gagging. He's eating a little bit more and we found out that we are allowed to take him off of the floor so we promised him that we would take him to the cafeteria for breakfast tomorrow. He is still getting a lot of headaches so we're giving him tylenol regularly with the occasional stronger stuff.

He also just got his last IV out. YEAH!!!

Hope all is well with everyone and we miss you all.
