Hello to all! We have now officially made it 48 hours and counting. For those of you following previous posts, this means tomorrow morning they will again discuss moving Bo out of ICU and into "step down", a regular room. I am a little hesitant to talk like this because first I do not want to jinx ourselves, but second Duke runs on their own time. So they say tomorrow, but I could certainly see us getting the approval tomorrow and then have it not happen until after the holidays. (I have learned that although the hospital is open on the Fourth of July, that doesn't mean everyone is working and things of this nature will get done) But hopefully tomorrow afternoon I will be posting from Bo's "regular room."
Bo is doing well and trying to adjust to all this fussing that everyone is doing. Everyone in ICU is so excited for Bo. Today I had a surreal reminder on how things could have turned out when one of our favorite nurses was talking to me and I knew something was going on in the room she was in charge of today. I asked her how she was doing and she immediately teared up All I could think to do was hug her and remind her that she helped save my husbands life. Not that Bo's life is any more important, but that she has a very difficult job, she does her job well and we will forever be indebted to her for her kindness, abilities and friendship. The nurses in ICU are truly inspirational people with the work they do and how quickly they care. (I do keep threatening them that when we walk out of ICU that I will "forget" to tie the back of Bo's gown as we walk out. hehehehe) I am so excited for this next step, but a little sad to be leaving my "friends" that have taken care of me as much as Bo for the past 6 weeks. (6 weeks, can you all believe that)
Take care and I will post again tomorrow as soon as I hear anything
Love
Christi, Addi and Bo
