This weekend was one of getting acclimated, but not comfortable. Bo is doing well in step down, but these next two days are the critical times. He went off the vent last Tuesday, so Monday and Tuesday will be the days to determine how his CO2 levels and diaphragm are doing. He is working on some breathing exercises and is walking until he exhausts. There truly isn't much more he can do except pray that the nerve to the diaphragm starts to heal itself and will start functioning better. Tomorrow they will start running the blood tests to see how he is fairing. Please keep praying. We feel the each of the trials makes him stronger, we do continue for prayer to get strong enough to leave the hospital.
Love to all
Christi, Bo and Addi
PS - Please keep praying for Debbie and her family.

We continue to pray for Bo's full recovery as well as grace to face each new day and it's challanges. We have faith that it won't be long before we read that you all are heading home. It will happen - in God's time. Trust Him - He knows what is best!
