Last post for the evening...things were pretty stable and status quo. Bo went through the GJ tube procedure without a problem and they got some food in him. PT came by today and checked out Bo's muscle and joints, things are looking pretty good considering he has been sick for over a week and just lying in bed. Tomorrow the hard work begins with Physical Therapy, they are going to "work him" Tomorrow they will also start turning the ventilator off some and getting Bo breathing on this own more. So little steps forward and not to many backwards.
Please continuing praying that Bo's body will continue healing itself, platelets increase, liver levels lower and kidneys cleaning those toxins out. Please pray that PT goes well and more importantly that Bo stays strong mentally and physically to get off the ventilator. Some people panic when they have to start breathing on their own because it is harder than before, but I am sure Bo will do well.
Love and Prayers
Christi and Addi

Christi,
We are so glad the day has gone well. Thank you so much for taking the time to update the blog. We all care so much for you and Bo and Addi. Not being there is hard, but the blog keeps us close and lets us know what prayers Bo and you need. I know it takes time for you to continue to keep us in touch. Be sure to get rest and food. You need to stay strong for you and your family. Most of all thank you for your honestly and for the humor you add to keep us all grounded. We love you and are so thankful for you love for Bo.
Have a good night.
Love,
Aunt Mary and Uncle Jeff
We are so happy to hear about the wonderful progress Bo is making and we will continue to pray for all of you. Thank you for all the updates Christi. Your strength is helping Bo get through this, I speak from my experience. Remember you have an army of support and prayers fighting with all of you.
Try to get some rest. We're all praying with you tonight and every night.

Christi,
thank you for the great news about Bo. I'm sure he'll continue to work hard to get home to you and Addi. For Addi regarding my phone call earlier tonight. A friend of your's was really sweet and took the message. this is the webpage of the church near to Duke Hospital my friend called me about, they have a day school.

She suggested you ask for :
Contact Lori Hardin, the Weekday School Director, at 530-8163
she gave me a name to drop, of a long time attending family (hers!) but asked me not to post it on the blog. please email at
jennphay@hotmail.com and I'll tell you all I know.
you, Bo and Addi are as always in my prayers.

Rock on Bo -- and to you Christi know you are being held in God's hand and your love as a family.
I continue to pray and ask our angel to look over Bo

Christi,
Bo showed me his x-rays 2 years ago. Tell Bo that if he can ride a bike up a hill with tumors covering almost all of his lungs there is not a whole lot he can't do. may get harder before it gets easier, but Bo can do anything.

It's so nice to hear good updates. It means a lot that you take the time to keep this blog so thanks Christi for updating it. We all cannot wait for Bo's first message! Keep strong, take care of your self, eat well, rest whenever possible, and stretch and walk to keep yourself relaxed and calm through out each day. Bo and Addi need you well too.

Christi,
With God's help I know that Bo will be able to recover. My dad just got home after being in the hospital for 5 mos. on a ventilator. He is 82 years old! If God can strengthen Dad I know He is able to strengthen and heal Bo. Over the last 5 mos. I have seen God do incredible things. Keep trusting Him. God will do it in His time and in His way.
We will continue to pray for Bo's swift recovery and for strength for you and Addi and the rest of your family.
Love,
Miss Kim
Christi -
My sister was telling me about http://www.sitterconnection.net/ - It is a service in Raleigh area of highend sitters - you have to pay 40 dollars to get the list but you can esure that you have an awesome, (screened) person to watch Addi. That way you can have a person to watch her all the time and take her to fun stuff around the area.
My sister also said that anything in the Hope Valley area would probably be okay because their are very nice areas around there.
She said camps are hard to find for under three but they do have the goddard school daycare around there - Just a thought - Also you may want to ask the college if there are any babysitting boards if you don't want to use the sitterconnection -
Hope this helps!

Thank you God for this report. Go Bo!!!!
Love,

It is so awesome to hear all the progress that Bo has made. We are praying for the continued small steps. Thanks so much for keep us updated Christi! Don't forget to take care of yourself too! Kiss that Addi girl for us when you see her :)

Hi Christie! My name is Shelley Bunting, and I am a friend of Whitney who went to high school with Bo and his older brother (I think!). I live in Chapel Hill and have small children. I hope I can help you find some child care options for Addi. please contact me so I can find out what/when you need help. My email address is sbunting@nc.rr.com and my phone number is 919-933-2992. We are going to be around home all weekend because of the heat. Hope to hear from you and hang in there. Shelley Bunting
Hey Bo and Christi,
Wonderful news from yesterday! You Go Bo! I know it seems like baby steps, but just the idea of you getting in a chair is just so amazing! Will keep the prayers coming! God Bless you all and Addi!
