Today has been another day a great focus. Bo is walking further and further everyday, they are really pushing him so that as he gets stronger, he will be able to come off the vent completely. I really think this will happen within the next week. Then we will move to step down for a while. Bo has to have one more procedure done called a "wrap" procedure to help with his acid reflux. This will leave him in the hospital for a couple days feeling just awful, but in time that will pass. (nausea) Once this is all done, I will let you know when we can visitors. In ICU it is very limited and until he gets through his final procedure, they will limit who can see Bo. Germs will be another major factor, he is on extreme immune suppressants, so we will always have to be extremely cautious around Bo. Who knows what germs we are all carrying. I only mention this because I know everyone knows how far we have come and are anxious to see Bo (as we are to see you) Just know that they are still limiting us and being extremely cautious with Bo. We are still in ICU, so we just have to keep being patient.
I did want to mention that Bo's labs came back and there didn't appear to be any rejection, or any cancer. His new lungs are working great! Score one for Team Bo!
Take care and I know I will post soon that we are moving on to another step in this process.
Love
Christi and Addi, and Bo
