Hello to All, Christi here. We made it through the second lung transplant! Bo still is extremely critical, but he did not start off with as much complications this time as last time. This time the fluid build up wasn't as dramatic and the bleeding the combated before surgery started. He is still on the ECMO machine, but they moved the canules to his neck and legs and closed his chest which will be one less surgery he will have to withstand. We need to pray that they can get his blood pressure under control again from the surgery and can get him off the ECMO machine as soon as possible. To rest assure that we made the right decision to send him into surgery again, the doctor said his left lung was essentially dying, there is a word for it but I forget and that was and is causing his body to inflame. So we need to work on getting the inflammation out as well as everything else. I did get to see him for a moment and he looks as handsome as ever and will have plenty of war wounds to impress the ladies.
I do want to apologize for the people that didn't sleep last night. They told me we would have news around midnight and they did not call me until 6:00 in the morning. Try to get some rest and thank you to everyone that are saying prayers and prayed their heart out at church. God is listening, we now just need a little more strength for Bo to recover from his 3rd surgery.
Thank you to everyone and pray pray pray.
