Chuck's had a rough 24 hours. Stacie noticed he "wasn't quite right" yesterday morning. Alas, I assumed it was due to a double-whammy of pain meds and nausea meds. Nope. When I arrived at 8:30 p.m., he was having uncontrollable spasms...convulsions if you will. It was AWFUL. They could not do anything to relieve his misery...I could not, Stacie could not...no one could! They ran labs and discovered his potassium was toooooo high. This morning, he was not convulsing, but he looked weary!!

My hope is that by this evening, he will be feeling better. Please pray for the poor guy! Also, he had his trache replaced this morning. His other trache leaked. He may be sore for a while.

Lesson learned = if anyone notices Chuck does not seem right...immediately run labs!!!
