Hi everyone! Chuck is doing fantastic. He is making steady, daily improvements. Sorry for the late post - I took the day off. It was wonderfully refreshing. Oh, I did spend the day at the hospital, but we had EXCELLENT company. Darin and Corey came to spend the weekend. We also received a visit from Ross, Laura, and Nicole. It was just soooo great!

For anyone wanting to visit ... a few tips:
  1. Bring warm clothes. The hospital is freezing.
  2. Chuck may not be up for visitors - but his wife is! Seriously, it was so refreshing to walk from Chuck's room into the waiting room, and to hear our "group" cutting up. There was plenty of laughter today ... which was incredibly uplifting!
  3. Know, if you come, you might well be spending all your time in the waiting room. However, this is a HUGE support to me, Mom, Dad, the family, and Chuck.

Now, for those of you who worry about not being able to make the trip, no worries. We feel so loved, and so supported. Your emails, posts, calls, and prayers are so encouraging. I know how frustrating it can be to feel powerless to make the situation better ... know this - you are making the situation better. It may seem small, but your sweet words and prayers are very uplifting and make a HUGE impact.

I feel blessed beyond belief.
