HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHASE!!!! (5 Yrs Old)

We headed to Cleveland this morning for Chase to be
fitted for his mask for radiation. They needed to put
him under anethesia to do this because he needed to
lay very still for this procedure. Chase didn't
tolerate this well. He was very agitated, and was mad
at everyone. He woke up in the recovery room very
upset. After he woke up for awhile, he seemed to feel
a little better. We dressed him and took him over to
S-20 for his chemo. He was such a great helper. He
helped Dan draw his own blood, (3) vials, helped with
the chemo injection, and he flushed his tube after the
chemo! Everyone was so proud of him. One of the nurses
in the radiation dept, heard that a little boy who was
turning 5 yrs old today, was coming in to be fitted
for a mask, she hand made a very beautiful John Deere
blanket for Chase in honor of his Birthday! After his
chemo was finished all of the staff presented Chase
with a Birthday cake, and we all joined in a chorus of
Happy Birthday, and they all brought him Tonka trucks,
match box cars, and a card!
He was sooo excited! He really had a rough day, but
he was grinning from ear to ear when we left. Chase
will be returning to Cleveland Clinic Monday morning
and will be staying the whole week. He will get the
big doses of chemo, and they will start radiation on
Tues, he will be getting radiation for 6 straight
weeks.
Thank you Aunt Marylou and Uncle Bob for the cute
Birthday card!
A big thank you to Wallace and Cindy, for the Jeff
Gordon water bottle and car!
We would also like to thank Mark Keegan for letting
Chase come out and tour his garage. Chase was really
excited to chat with Mark about Sprint cars, and
racing. Mark invited Chase to come back and visit him.
That really made his day.
