Good Evening - Today Bo did so much that I am so proud of him. He was able to wiggle his legs and move his left arm. He is trying so hard to get stronger and slowly succeeding. I know Bo would want to move mountains with leaps and bounds, but hopefully someday he will realize that he is doing that. We also got the ventilator down to the lowest settings, so now we are just working on getting his diaphragm stronger to push the air out properly. They let him stabilize today with the lowest settings and then tomorrow will be a huge day of trach trials (breathing on his own) This is scary for a lot of patients, but I know with practice he can do it.
As Bo is waking up for the meds more and more, he keeps wondering why the entire staff is checking in on him. I just keep telling him because of me and my craziness, but in all honesty they are all pulling for him. He is truly a miracle. There is nothing more precious than knowing my husband's will to live....
