Happy Birthday Grandpa

Looks like Chase wanted to give us something to celebrate on an emotional day.  Today his grandpa Burningham would have turned 61 years old.  I am sure the best possible present he could have would be to know that Chase is doing great.  They are weaning him off the ventilator and planning to remove his two chest tubes today.  His numbers are great.  Now he just needs to lose the arterial blood pressure monitor, PICC line, Central line, IV lines, Kidney pressure monitor, brain pressure monitor, EKG, naso-gastric feeding tube, and start eating.  Obviously, that is a lot to do in the next couple weeks.  One step at a time though.  GO CHASE!!  You're a rock star!

We're thinking of you all and praying for every kind of strength that you may need. Happy Birthday to Randy. You know your Mom would be by Brandi's side, hovering over Chase, while Randy would peek in and then steal a motorized wheelchair and terrorize the entire hospital and then come back acting innocent. Love to all. Brent & Jana

We have the easy part--continued prayers and reading a marvelous blog to see how sweet Chase is doing. Thanks again Mikaela and many many loves to Brandi, Ben and family. I agree with Brent on Randy, the motorized terrorist!!

Yes, you are both right, however you forgot the part about how he would be handing out Book of Mormons and planning vacations with strangers! Thanks for the laugh!
