Hello and sorry for the slow post. We got to spend time with Bo this morning when he was with the respiratory therapist. She is determined to get Bo moving and shaking off the ventilator, so let's pray that Tristin can do her magic. After Bo's first round he made it 45 minutes then was exhausted and has been sleeping ever since. Do not worry, she is going to work him again. Physical Therapy came by as well and they were able to get Bo sitting on the side of the bed, but we are going to put PT on the back burner for a while. (just so we can work on the trach)
Bo's other levels are working their way to the proper ranges, he is still a ways off and on lots of medicine. Right now his sodium levels are high so the are adding fluids to him to try and flush the sodium out. So lets just get the levels straighted out and breathing better.
By the way Bo's hand is looking better and better. It is so wrapped up that it hard to tell, but I think we are now seeing pink on the finger tips, so we might still have a two handed golfer. The wound unit is keeping an eye on it.
Thanks and I will write more later.

Everyone stay cool in the south.
