Chuck has been nauseous again today. Apparently he has gastroparesis. The term actually means "a weak stomach." The stomach contracts to move food through. Chuck's stomach is not contracting. This news is good and bad. It's good to know the culprit. It's bad as there is no cure...sometimes it resolves itself. In the meantime, Chuck will continue to get sick when he puts food into his stomach. Can you imagine?? I get frustrated because I can't eat wheat. CHUCK CAN'T FREAKIN EAT!

Okay, aside from that, he's doing well. Wounds are knitting, lungs are strengthening, mood is, well, mood is appropriate for discovering you may never enjoy food again.

Still, today is better than yesterday. We are grateful for daily blessings...which are bountiful!!!
