Oh my beloved enigma, wrapped in a mystery, wrapped in a riddle! Chuck has duped us all once again. The P.I.C.C. line was indeed growing bacteria ... two types to be exact ... neither of which was the type found in his bloodstream! That man! In any case, the appropriate antibiotic has been started to combat the newly discovered bacteria. The bacteria found in his bloodstream may have been a fluke ... a bateria from the line used to draw the blood ... or some such thing.

Lungs are looking good. Chuck's taking a "breather" from 3.5 hours off the ventilator. He'll go back off later today.

Please continue to pray for Chuck's wound. Heal, heal, heal!
