FREEDOM!
It is with great joy that I announce Bo is "home" (summer house) as I type! I was afraid to say it out directly, but I am sure most of you got the hints. We left today with huge smiles on our faces and a couple tears, from me, down our cheeks. Thank God for answering our prayers and for his continued support of this new chapter and path we lead. I pray that we can continue to have strength and may there not be to many "bumps" on our path to going home.
Love to All
Bo, Christi and Addi
PS - It is pouring down rain today and I can only think that it is God, our Angels and everyone crying tears of joy for this huge step we have taken. Thank you all for your support.

Donelle
From baby steps to summer home, what an amazing journey. Keep up your great attitude and support Christi!! We can't wait to hear about your move to far far away home.
The Coupals
Donelle is right, it was so nice to hear Brian make the announcement!! It was definitely a boost...its amazing how far you have come in such a short time. We'll continue to pray and you keep up the fight. Go Bo Go!!!
Praise God! We are thrilled that the doctors are letting you out to begin your sessions of rehab at the center for living. This is a big step, and one that helped me to see the light at the end of the tunnel. The folks there are so great and they help so much in making you feel independent once again. Be patient and things will get easier as time goes by. Just enjoy being with your family and that precious Addi. We know lots of restaurants from our 7 month stay in Durham if you need some suggestions now that you are on the outside!!! Hopefully they will be allowing you to eat normal solids soon. We wish you all the best and hope to continue to hear great things.
