Christy hit the nail on the head...Chuck does NOT want to study. That must be it. Alas, he's really laying it on thick...looking all weak and nauseated.

I have not heard from Dr. Bell, but I think Chuck will stay in I.C.U. until he's over whatever bug he currently has.

His wounds are really looking good. Granted, he took one giant step back with the move. His bum is paying the price. So, while the wounds are looking good, they still has some catching up to do. Blessedly, the wounds on the back did not suffer any damage. So they are steadily moving forward! AND Kevin has real skin right in his center. He's still surrounded by open woundish stuff, but he's solid in the middle! Yea. Praise God!

I had a bit of a discouraging talk with the case manager today...regarding Chuck's wounds. They have become the #1 priority. You see, Chuck will be able to manage at home if he is still on the vent. He can still have a "modified," active lifestyle. However, if his skin does not improve...his activities will be limited...very limited...special bed, no trips...anywhere. Oi. I know, one day at a time. I have come to know this: it will all be okay. If this is what God has planned for us, he will equip us to handle it. For now, pray for Chuck's skin to mend. Pray for his body to absorb every ounce of protein that it can.
