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.
