Day +81 Saturday - Family

Yesterday, Saturday, Charles' (Aaron's) entire family made a visit. Generally we have stagered visits, coordinating with Karlin, so there is more coverage and not so many in the room. But, yesterday his whole family ganged up on him.
We always have to "dress-up" to be in the room. I forgot to have us lower our masks when the photo was taken. So, from left to right: Don (Dad), Matthew, Daniel, DeeDee (Mom) & Jonathan with wonderful Charles in the middle. It was nice to have us all together and share some time. The brothers are good friends and medicine for Charles.

Charles continues to have gut rawness. The few previous days were more so. DeeDee and Daniel visited today and he seemed to be doing better. He has come a long way in many areas but his gut has been slower to heal. The Drs meet and counsel each day, look at test results, etc and make a plan. So, we are hopeful for Charles' treatment and are hopeful that his body will heal.

Thanks for your love, support and prayers!! Don.

  1. I cant tell you how much we appreciate these updates. Charles, you are always in our thoughts and prayers. Keep your eyes open for a little care package. I think that we will send you some movies and notes to keep you busy while you continue healing. BTW, some of these movies might still be in the theater, and you didn't get them from me ;)
    We just wanted to make sure that you aren't missing out on any of that pop culture while cooped up on Pill Hill!
