Today was "wound" day. The wound-care team visits Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Chuck's wounds are looking MUCH better. However, his pressure wound is not healed enough for him to get out of bed. He still gets therapy, though. Physical therapy comes daily. They've figured out a way to sit Chuck up in his sand bed ... no small feat to be sure. Occupational therapy is more sporadic ... they usually visit three times a week.

Chuck's gut is getting softer ... this is a good thing. Hopefully, tube feeds will start again tomorrow.

Chuck's lungs sound good, and he is taking deeper breaths ... all good.

Fly in the ointment = he's running a fever. They took samples of every fluid in the man's body ... and will be testing, testing, testing.

We are thankful for daily improvements, and remain hopeful. Thanks for your prayers!
