We had another great Saturday, it is truly humbling to think how far we have come. Numerous nurses, doctors, residents and everyone stops by to check on Bo and see his progress. He is still not fully aware of everything he has gone through and accomplished (the doctors think is it best to not tell the fully story until later, they do not want to overwhelm him) but my we have come far.
Today Bo walked 2700 feet total. The breakdown goes 1000 with a little oxygen, then 700 with nothing assisting him and another 1000 with nothing assisting him. On top of that he has been of the vent since 9:30 am and still going strong. But that isn't the best part, today he allowed himself to fall asleep with the vent off for the first time! Yeah! This is huge in himself gaining confidence. This is the first step (of many) that will get him to the wonderful 48 hours he needs to get out of ICU. My how I would love for him, Addi and I to celebrate the 4th of July together. I certainly do not want to get ahead of myself and we will work something out if he is still in ICU, but how great would that be!
Everyone sleep well also.
Love
Christi, Addi and Bo
