Good Evening - Bo had yet another amazing day. He walked 3 times today about 400 feet each time. And 2 of those times without the vent and pushing the stand that assists him. This stand holds all the tubes (still draining fluid from his chest, but down from 9 tubes to 2) and machines to monitor his vitals. Normally we have Bo, a nurse with the IV poll, PT helping Bo push the stand with the tubes, respiratory working with the vent and me following behind with a chair in case he gets tired. Now we have me and a nurse! We are moving and shaking big time today. I mean that is 2 times more than he has ever down without the vent both times....plus on top of that he was off the vent for 6 hours, 3 hour intervals and maybe one more time tonight. He was quite exhausted when he finished all that, hopefully he will sleep well.
I hope everyone else does that same
Love
Christi and Addi
PS - I wanted to send a little, actually a big, THANK YOU, to Steve and Tara...Addi loved the toys, Bo the movies (I guess my movies were stuff he has already seen). So many people have been so generous, I promise some how we will repay you all.

Great talking with you this morning Christy and hearing the good news. Look forward to seeing you guys soon, at the new apartment. Give Addi a kiss from the Bradley's and I guess go ahead and give Bo one from me as well. Just not on the mouth!
Love you, Lee B.

Johnson, Family keep up the good work, one step at a time put one foot infront of the other, Goodness I did realize Bo had 9 chest tubes in I though 4/5 was bad enough, those things hurt.

Hi Bo & Christi
Ps 37:3-5
3. trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
4.
Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him and he shall bring it to pass.
Christi the only repay we want is Bo continuing recovery.
We will continue to pray for the whole family. (Bo you are an inspiration)
