Chuck's wound is doing great ... thank you, God!

As for his lungs ... there's too much carbon dioxide in his blood. To decrease the level, he must stay on the ventilator for a while. We expect that he will be off the ventilator by Monday. Please pray for a speedy transistion back to vent-free breathing.

Okay, we are LOVING Chuck's private room ... it's the party room. People stop by all day to say hi (and to get some Halloween candy). However, once we close the door ... it's peaceful and sealed off from the noise in the hospital! THANK YOU, GOD.
