Looking good. I met the cardiologist, and am awaiting results of an EKG. This will give the cardio guy info on the condition of Chuck's heart.

Plastic surgeon came by ... all is looking good. The only skin issue he has is on the front side ... the skin over his bottom, left rib is not healing as well as the rest of his wounds.

Pulomonologist / Critical Care doc came by. He will start to wean Chuck off the ventilator today. This will take several days. On Monday, he will reassess Chuck, and decide whether or not to take Chuck off the respirator. Also, he has given instructions for the "PIKK" line to be pulled out a bit, as it may be touching Chuck's heart ... causing the frightening episodes of last night. Finally, the doc insert a feeding tube that goes through the stomach and into the beginning of the intestines so that Chuck's stomach will not get upset from food.

More later.
