So, 9:30 P.M. counts as "after"noon - right? There really were very few changes today. Chuck's slowly improving. Stacey noticed that he looked thinner when she came in to see him this evening. I couldn't see the change, as I'd been staring at him all day long. I'm hoping to notice the difference when I see him in the morning.

The docs' main focus right now is getting Chuck's "water weight" off. Once most of the fluid buildup is gone, they'll take him off the ventilator. So, everyone is working towards that end.

I'll post in the morning!
