Hi everyone. We created this blog to help the Davis family communicate updates on Chuck's progress and keep everyone in the loop for the upcoming benefit. We also thought the more people that know about Chuck, the more prayers that can be sent his way. We love you Chuck!

Some more updates from Mary
She went to visit Chuck today in the post-ICU and said they now have him in a recliner instead of a bed laying down all the time. They had him standing for a little while, but his blood pressure dropped. He was exhausted and not feeling the best, but she said that he looked good.
If you go to visit him now you will park in the North Garage near the Center for Advanced Medicine.
Please keep the Davis family in your prayers!

Update from Mary (Chuck's mom)
Loni called me last night and they were moving Chuck to the pic-unit (post-icu)at Barnes, which I guess that they feel he is improving and they can work with him more, which is awesome, so now he is on the other side of barnes the north gate. He had a wonderful easter with lots of company thank you everyone.
