Hello and sorry for the slow post. We got to spend time with Bo this morning when he was with the respiratory therapist. She is determined to get Bo moving and shaking off the ventilator, so let's pray that Tristin can do her magic. After Bo's first round he made it 45 minutes then was exhausted and has been sleeping ever since. Do not worry, she is going to work him again. Physical Therapy came by as well and they were able to get Bo sitting on the side of the bed, but we are going to put PT on the back burner for a while. (just so we can work on the trach)
Bo's other levels are working their way to the proper ranges, he is still a ways off and on lots of medicine. Right now his sodium levels are high so the are adding fluids to him to try and flush the sodium out. So lets just get the levels straighted out and breathing better.
By the way Bo's hand is looking better and better. It is so wrapped up that it hard to tell, but I think we are now seeing pink on the finger tips, so we might still have a two handed golfer. The wound unit is keeping an eye on it.
Thanks and I will write more later.
Christi
Everyone stay cool in the south.

Christi, Candace and Jared's mom here...Keeping the faith along with others and wishing you and Bo all the healing energy needed!!! Great to hear you are seeing pink on the fingers. Spotted this book on the internet, content free at the moment, The Gift of Change, by Marianne Williamson and it made me think of your family's journey in faith. Thought you might be interested! It's at @ http://browseinside.harpercollins.com/index.aspx?isbn13=9780060816117&WT

I'm thanking God for Bo's progress, while asking him for more, that I'm pretty busy. Christy, your reports are great and addictive, even for those of us who are not closer to you and your family. The Mullan clan are so interested and following along with love and caring for you all. Caroline is a special blessing in our family.
We rejoice in the progress of each of the baby steps which seem to be making positive strides.
Mike's Meemaw, Cecil Mullan
