Chuck's wounds are looking great! His breathing seems stable. He is more alert...but still very sleepy. He can stay awake for up to 10 minutes at a time...that's up from 2-3 minutes at a time.

I've been talking up the game all day. The Spurs play at 7:00. Hopefully Chuck will enjoy some of it.

Special blessings for the day include a cheerful, funny nursing aide; a massage (1 hour ) purchased by Christie; and a break from Stacie. What a wonderful day!
