Alrighty ... good-ish day. First, Chuck did five hours off the ventilator ... in a row!

Next, his wound is "stable." I praise God for that! Please oh please pray that this wound heals with no more break down. Wound care came today, and I asked what the hope is for the wound ... it is that healthy skin grows underneath the dead skin. As the dead skin sloughs off, new skin will be waiting below the surface. Please pray that this is what happens!

Now for the "ish" part, Chuck's blood count is low again. Thankfully, he is not awaiting surgery this time. He will be given two bags o' blood.
