Morning update:
Stacey stayed with Chuck all night. Apparently, things got pretty active during the night shift - he was sent for a CT scan, was x-rayed, had both a new central line and a new pick line put in. Whew, I think Stacey is pooped. She's gone to the hotel to sleep! She's been a God-send. Please offer prayers of thanksgiving for her!

There is not much new this morning. He looks a little less puffy; he's still being sedated; and he's still on the ventilator. One new thing, the doctor of infectious diseases took a gander at him yesterday, ran several tests, and has declared that Chuck is disease/infection free. Yea!

I'll post later this afternoon. Have a great day!
