Chuck looks MUCH better. I brought reinforcement with me this evening. Marilyn, who has been here all week from Florida, came up to the hospital to pray with Chuck. Her church has been praying all year. Since she was here, she wanted the opportunity to touch Chuck and pray with him. Whew, can that woman pray!! Powerful, powerful, powerful. She prayed for the doctors to gain clarity, as Chuck is a mystery. She prayed for Chuck's hopes to be realized...for strength, strength, strength...for healing. Amen!

As for the new trache, Chuck slept through the change out and doesn't remember a thing. He has had no discomfort.

With the labs that were run last night, a new infection was discovered. He's receiving antibiotics. That's it for this evening.
