Good Morning to Everyone - sorry for the slow post. We had another frustrating night. Bo is back in ICU and on the vent. His CO2 levels were on the rise and they wanted to be cautious with Bo. I haven't been able to talk with the doctors yet, but hopefully this afternoon I can catch up with them to find out what the next game plan is going to be. Bo is certainly frustrated, as we all are, so if anyone has the time to send words of encouragement to Bo I think he would benefit from them. I am afraid he is getting to comfortable with this hospital and might need to know that we all need him in the real world...
Thanks and I will post again later
Love
Christi, Addi and Bo

Hi Bo and Christi. Bo, we need you outta there! Just know that this is a mini-temporary setback. You will step back down VERY soon! Believe me, there is a wonderful life waiting for you and your family with hospitals and doctors not being in the picture. Try to get through this incredibly frustrating time and think of all the mountains that you will climb!
I love you,

Hang in there Beuford, you have more determination and fight in you than I have every seen. I know it's frustrating now but once you're healthy and back with your family and friends all the fighting you're doing will seem like nothing.

Both you and Christi are an inspiration to so many.
XOXO,

Hang in there Bo you will whip all this and be out of there soon. Then you will play a little golf and take Addi to see Mickey Mouse when you are ready to visit Fla. Keep a level head and it will all work out.

Bo don't get too comfy there it's DOOK after all. you need to be OUT in time to cheer for CAROLINA. I don't think they allow that sort of behavior in THAT hosptial.

As we say out here at the "other" SC.... FIGHT ON!!!

Hey Bo & Christi,
Bo, I dreamt that you were back here in office! You were walking around joking with everybody, asking the guys when you were going to play golf. It seemed real...mostly because we're all waiting for you to get back here! So, show that extra strong side & beat this, Bo! We all know you can! Plus you have the best cheerleader by your side every day (Christi...you're amazing beyond words), not to mention that cutie pie Addi!! Keep going, Bo. We're all thinking about you guys every day! We miss you & Christi! :)

Bo,

I bet you never thought you would hear Donelle say she dreamt about you? LOL
It was awesome to actually get to talk to you the other day. You sounded like BO. I don't know what I thought you would sound like but for a minute I forgot you were still at the hospital. There isn't a day that goes by that someone I talk to doesn't ask about you. Everyone is so excited for the progress you have made. I know you are frustrated with the set backs but the bottom line is you are doing awesome. Sometimes you have to go a little backwards to keep moving forward. You have come so far it is only a matter of time before you are back with us.

Go Duke!

Hey Christi and Bo. I know all the back and forth is extremely frustrating and can really mess with your head. I remember very well feeling that I would never get out of the hospital and I also felt some fear about leaving . I questioned how in the world
I would manage on the outside. But by the grace of God it all does work out. It is all about HIS timing. I really hated hearing that all the time, (especially in the third month of hospitalization), but looking back it all makes since now. There were transplant patients that got out before I did, but most all of them ended back in the hospital for various issues anyway. So YOU just get it all over with now so that when you say goodbye to Duke North it is for a very long time. Hang tough and know that I sympathize and really know what you are going through, Try under these very difficult circumstances to keep the faith. I thank God every day for the opportunity to spend time with my kids. Call if you need anything, I am there on the 29th for a biopsy to see how things are going. It has been 1 year and 5 months on August 5th since my transplant. You are a miracle too.

Keep riding the waves, try not to get to high on the highs or to low on the lows, you can do it. You have a such a great support team to help you get through these set backs. Bob Fuller

Hey Bo...

I'd like to say I've been where you've been -- but I've only been to some of the places you've been...

I'd like to say "roll with the punches" -- but why does that other guy in the ring have to be so mother-effing big?!?! It's like Jiminy Cricket against Muhammed Ali (when Ali was in his prime, of course...)

But if the fans have anything to say about this match, Bo -- Jiminy is going all the way and Ali is going down...

You got what you needed -- twice -- and now you're dealing with the struggle and frustration to keep kt... Frankly, I can't imagine all you've been through. I wish that all of us could take a little of your suffering -- a little of your fear and frustration -- and leave you with a lot less...

I've kept tabs on your blog for quite a while -- you have amazing strength -- you've always had it... And you've got Addi... And you've got Christi... You've got so very much to live for. I hope you catch a break soon...

There are a lot of people out here thinking about you, and cheering for you -- I'm one of them... You've in my thoughts and prayers...

Love,

Steve
