- Pneumonia has been confirmed. His lungs seem to be the source of his infection. They have also located staph in the lungs. This makes me squirm ... please pray for super-natural healing!!
- His fever has not gone over 100.9, so that's an improvement.
- His P.I.C.C. line (peripheral intravenous central catheter) has been moved from the right arm to the left. This effort has been made as part of the "infection hunt." The old line has been sent away for testing.
- More fluid was pulled from around his left lung.
- He is chronically anemic. Today he was given more blood.
- Dr. Taylor wants food in the man's gut. Discussions are in progress = through the nose (Chuck abhors the idea), or through a tube in the stomach. Eventually, if he is not eating, he will get a tube in the stomach anyway. The holdup is his hematoma, which is still draining.
- Trach trials have been put on hold while all of the procedures are occurring. The pneumonia has really slowed his progress, so again, please pray for super-natural healing.
I miss Chuck like crazy!! Pray for my broken-heart. My plan is to fly back on Saturday and stay through Tues or Weds.
