Hmmmm ... Chuck is so listless. It's rough to watch ... sure it's rougher being the one being pumped full of calories ... feeling stuffed 24/7. There is talk of using the T.P.N. again ... feeding through the veins. This malnutrition stuff stinks!

As for wounds, some look BETTER, and some look the same. The plan is to pump Chuck full of calories and to keep him off his back as much as possible. He turns from side to side every 2-3 hours. No back time for the boy. The wound vac may be used later. Right now we are waiting for the dead skin to slough off, and praying that new healthy skin is growing underneath. As the dead skin sloughs, more hardware will be exposed. Using the wound vac right now would pull off too much dead skin ... exposing too much hardware. Please pray Chuck grows beautifully healthy skin pronto.
