Chuck is doing well. The wound along his incision is stable. It continues to improve daily ... but oh so slowly. There is a new spot on his back that is being watched closely. It most likely developed during the fitting of his new brace ... it takes so little to cause damage to his skin! Please pray this area heals quickly. In addition, his pressure sore is rearing its ugly head again. He is now allowed only 15 minutes for meals. Previously he was allowed to sit up 30 minutes. Alas, this is a tiny step backwards. Due to such issues, wound care thinks Chuck is at high risk for skin breakdown were he to go to rehab. So, he'll most likely stay at Baylor Specialty for several more weeks. Please pray for healing!
