We officially have a clean tube this morning! Yeah, one procedure down 3 more consults to go. Today they have to recheck his gas levels, which involve him getting blood drawn and checking levels that way. Once they receive the results from that one, then they will decide to put the smaller trach in, this should hopefully be done today, we will see, maybe tomorrow. In the meantime we will wait for "The Wound People" to consult on his hand and see what the next step will be on that one. Then we are still on for Wednesday for the vocal cord procedure, let's hope the blood gas doesn't throw that one off to much.
Bo is resting now from his procedure this morning, but I will be sure to write more later.
Take care
Christi, Addi and Bo

Question...is the trach something that Bo will always have to have? I am alittle confused on how that all works...but what great progress he is making...have been following his story for some time now. My daugther's friend knows Bo and she told us about this Blog...what a great family you have. Thank you for answering my question. We will continue to keep you in our prayers.

Bo, I am so glad to hear about all of your progress. Make sure it is a nice southerner that works on your vocal cords, I'd hate for you to come out of this sounding like a yankee! Thanks again for the blog. Sabrina Freeman Smith
