I am hoping to have something new to share later this afternoon. Yesterday Chuck seemed just the tiniest bit better. Alas, things are pretty yucky right now. Though he is receiving waaaaaaaaay too much happy juice, I am thankful that he is sleeping through most of this. Hopefully he will not remember how miserable this has been.

Let's see...his fever is back down to 100 and has pretty much stayed there. The infectious disease doc has not made it by to visit. The hole is still gaping and fluids are still pouring out of it.

In all of this, God has been sending mercifuly blessings. Thanks for the encouragement so many of you have given. Thanks for the prayers that so many of you have offered.
