I can't begin to imagine how exciting this must be for Chase's parents to watch his progress. I don't even know Chase and I have tears of joy running down my face.

Wow. I am crying after watching those videos. Go Chase!

Here's a diagram showing the location of the cerebellum and pons.

Cuddos to one dedicaded teacher and two great parents as well. His dad filled my heart when he spoke of Chase saying,"I love you."
I bet he never thought he'd hear that. God works miracles.
