Showers of blessings are pouring down on us ... we're using buckets to catch all of the love, support, and encouragement ... however, this stuff cannot be contained! I praise God for how he has used you, yes YOU reading this right now, to bless us.

Chuck is continuing to gain strength. His lungs are stronger; his arms are stronger; his whole body is stronger due to better nutrition; and his spirits are a bit improved. The two concerns currently are his wounds and his gut. Yes, he is tolerating tube feeds. However, his stomach continues to get distended ... which pulls his skin taught ... which stresses the skin that we want to heal. As for his wounds, a new sore was discovered today ... not in a vital area like the one on his back, but nonetheless, a sore.

Chuck has had difficulty recovering from his last few surgeries. Please pray he flies through this one ... and comes out on the other end stronger than ever.

Keeping the faith.
