Chuck's swelling has decreased. He will be getting a new bed to help with any breakdown in his skin. It is a sand bed ... kinda like a sand box but less messy. With his swelling and inability to heal, his skin is a huge concern right now. Apparently, one needs the skin to stay closed in order to protect all the stuff inside. Who knew?

The x-ray series showed that there is no blockage in Chuck's intestines. This is fantastic. However, we are still left with the question; why can Chuck not tolerate nutrition through his digestive tract? Alas, for now we simply wait and watch.
