Hello all! We made it through another 24 hours off the vent! Bo is getting stronger again and hopefully we will move out of ICU within the next week. Needless to say, he was a little anxious last night to stay off the vent all night, not much sleep, so this morning he did a lot of catching up. A big factor in determining when will be out of ICU will but the biopsy results they did today. That procedure is always a little rough for Bo, so he did some sleeping and resting up all day. We will not know anything for a couple of days. Please pray that the results come back with nothing new, and Bo's reason for CO2 raising is something simple, like his lungs just over exhausted themselves with all his walking to get out of the hospital. That is an option and I vote for it.
Bo is still scheduled to have his procedure for his vocal cords tomorrow. This will happen sometime in the last afternoon, so I will try to take my computer tomorrow so I can post that Bo is up and talking, wouldn't that be great? I sure would love to hear his voice, it has been a long time.
Rest up and we love you all
Christi, Addi and Bo
PS - Bob's wife is holding her own, so keep praying for her!
