Chuck is still at main Methodist as there is no "bed," or "slot" for him at Life Care. As we wait, there are some dietary issues. The opening for Chuck's feeding tube is quite large and may eventually need a surgical "closing." For now, wound care is in charge of it...in the hopes that it will close on its own. (Prayer request!!) Because a great deal of his nutrition is pouring out of the feeding tube "hole", the doctor is starting Chuck on T.P.N. (intravenous nutrition). In addition, due to the anxiety created by the poor breathing yesterday, Chuck's drug administration is way outta whack. The man is totally out of it. While it's a nice "vacation" for him, I worry. He's funny, as he still tries to "fake" like he's totally alert....Good try, but he's gooooone.

Okay, pray for room at the inn; for his feeding wound to close; and for him to get the nourishment he needs to keep healing.
