Chuck is continuing to make strides on t-bar (off the ventilator). Each day since last Thursday, he has increased his time. Today, he will most likely go about five hours.

Another amazing feat ... Chuck is eating more and more. Not only is he eating more, he's keeping it down!

Now for the stinker ... his wound is breaking down again ... same old area. Please pray for healing ... it the spot right in the center of his upper back. Wound care is on it ... the skin is just starting to break down ... and this could go either way (heal or back to surgery)!
