Journal entry by Ray Charlton —
Sorry it's been several days since the last update. I will probably update once a week now since nothing is really happening outside of the normal healing. We are 4 weeks out now. He feels great, pain is almost nothing, walking 3-4 miles a day, physical therapy twice a week. The hard part is just learning to sit still and don't do anything while the sternum bone heals which is 6-8 weeks. If he does any damage to that there isn't anything they can do to fix it and he'll have troubles the rest of his life. So taking 2 months off right now is a small sacrifice.
