Mindy mentioned to me ... "God does not always work quickly, but sometimes he moves suddenly." All of this sudden movement has left me breathless! Today, Chuck's trache was capped. The trache is not being used at all. They will leave it in for several days as a safety precaution. However, the boy is fully breathing on his own! He still gets a bit of oxygen through his nose, but that will not last for much longer.
Wound care came bright and early to check out Chuck's back. It is fine ... it is better than fine ... it is beautiful. I took a look at it today, and the rawness and bleeding have disasppeared. It does indeed look beautiful. Keep praying for the wound to heal ... it's getting there!
