Good Morning everyone - We are still making our baby steps. Bo had a restful evening we appear to be taking baby steps in the right direction. His platelets are up a little, still a long way to go, but baby steps in the right direction. His kidneys appear to be clearing a little better so they are waiting on the dialysis and are hoping time will allow them to jump start in time. His fever is still high, but appears to be stable with the cooling blanket so they are stopping with the Tylenol and hopefully that will rest his liver and allow it to function better. Small steps...we are meeting with the wound people today about Bo's hand. There still isn't much that they can do, but they think it might be getting better. He might loose a few fingers instead of the entire hand, this one is just a wait and see game. The first test for HIT came back negative, they are waiting on other tests to confirm. With this being said, they still do not have an explanation on why his hand reacted this way, but time well hopefully heal it.
Bo is still going into surgery again today to put a trach in. This will hopefully help with infection and for his prolonged need for the ventilator, when they are putting this in they might put a feeding tube in as well. They will decide that later. They are also going to clean out his left side a little bit more to get some fluid out and hopefully this will help the overall lung function. We can only pray this is the last time Bo goes to the OR Room, Lord knows every time I think I am at my limit, we go back.
They are trying to wake him up this morning, just to knock him out again for surgery, but I did get to talk to him some. He blinked a couple times to questions so that was great. He blinked to say his hand hurt so that breaks my heart, but I think pain might be a good sign he still has feeling in it. He also blinked to say that he loved Addi and his Mom, when I asked about me he was dumbfounded on said nothing, so we all know Bo is still there neurologically. Man I love him.
Love Christi
I will post more when he goes into surgery again, which will not be until 2:45 and will take a couple of hours. Keep praying for one smooth procedure.
