Good evening everyone I hope you day went well. Ours was a good day, Bo moved to sitting in a chair for a little. Tomorrow morning they are going to put in the GJ tube, feeding tube, and that will remove all tubes from his mouth and nose. He seemed a little more aware today and a little more irritated, so that is our Bo coming back. He is doing really well, the doctors are just uncertain how long it will take Bo to get his breath back by himself. His diaphragm is a little worn out with all the procedures. So small steps and hopefully within the next week we will have the moment we have all been waiting for and out of ICU. Tonight we need to have an uneventful GJ tube procedure tomorrow morning, pray that his body keeps healing itself (kidneys heal themselves and platelet levels rise) please let his diaphragm keep working and start the process of getting off the ventilator. Tomorrow afternoon they are also going to give him Heparin (spelling) to help with the blood clots in his left chest, there is a chance this might cause bleeding again that they will have to clean out "manually" but they feel it is important to work on those clots. That will be later in the day.
Now I have a personal favor, I am looking in to bring Addi up to stay in our apartment, but I need to be with Bo a majority of the time. For anyone familiar with the Chapel Hill, Durham area, I am looking for half day summer camps, part-time sitters or ideas for her. Please feel free to email me or post on the blog ideas. I want to keep her entertained with friends, new and old, but I need to be with Bo as well. Thanks for the ideas and help.
Love
Christi
