Good Evening everyone - We had a exhausting day, both of us. Bo right now is working on getting of the vent and that is exhausting for him and frustrating. But I think more frustrating is his inability to talk because of the trach. It breaks my heart to not be able to communicate well with him. Lord knows we have a lot to stay to one another. He is just a little stubborn with the situation, but I have faith that the physical therapist and respiratory therapist will get the job done. But in the meantime I have to admit it breaks my heart to see him feeling better, but struggling and getting frustrated. I know in time it will all come together and patience is the answer, but I feel we are so close to getting over this hump that how do you not race to the end. But once again I am reminded I do not control this situation, I am a cheerleader on the side. (I think I might be the best damn cheerleader, it must be all those years cheering for the Jayhawks) So we work and wait. Prayers and Patience that is what I am looking for these days. Tonight I sleep and I know tomorrow is another day that Bo will amaze me with his physical and mental strength, just at the end of the day I want him with me. I know, soon enough, but never fast enough.
Love to all
Christi
PS - I think the ICU Waiting room is getting the craziest people in it. I think I might be losing my mind, but I promise these people are characters. I feel bad saying that because they are in similar situations I am in, but the are (or I am) going nuts.
