Another good and stable day. Bo is getting more used to "step down" and started to catch up on the rest he missed out on when he was anxious to get off the vent. He was a little frustrated this morning, the first thing out of any one's mouth was that they were going to have to put off his vocal cord procedure until Wednesday. That is about the 5th time they have delayed doing this and being able to talk is pretty much number one on Bo's list of things to get done. Welcome to Duke time...I will believe it when it happens. But other than that we had a good day. A lot of walking and sleeping. So far we can accomplish 12 laps in a day, Bo needs to do 20 to leave the hospital (along with the necessary procedures)
We have "tentatively" scheduled replacing his GJ tube first thing Monday morning and tomorrow they will put a smaller trach in that is metal (his one now is plastic) They are calling for another consult on Bo's hand. Everyone, the nurses and OT (occupational therapy) believe Bo will make almost a complete recovery with his hand, but we need the powers that be to confirm that. So we have asked the "wound" people to consult and "vascular" to consult as well. The last thing on Bo's chart was that Bo's hand was necrotic - aka dead, well that isn't acceptable and we are going to get that one looked into.
I will let you know what they say tomorrow
Take care and rest up
Love
Christi, Addi and Bo
