Zac's surgery was canceled again today. He was back in the OR, and sedated; however his platelets were too low to perform the surgery. We were under the impression that if this were the case that they could transfuse, and then do the surgery; however this surgery is about 5 hrs, and the transfusion would add too much time to the amount of overall time of sedation. Dr. Paley opted to cancel the surgery for today! We are so frustrated as this is the 3rd attempt for this surgery as the other 2 times Zac had viruses at the last minute. We are hoping to reschedule for next week. Please keep us in your prayers through yet another emotional roller coaster, and trying to keep Zac well. It does not make sense to us, as all the knowledge that we have points towards needing to have this surgery and soon. We are not sure why there have been so many obstacles, but we are still believing that God is in control and only He knows the bigger picture. It makes it challenging to have complete surrender, but we know we must. It also gives us hope knowing that there is a bigger picture, and that God knows best. Please pray for grace as we wait, again! Thanks, LeAnn
Even youth grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:30-31
Current status
Thanks for stopping by! Our little trooper is doing well. He is now walking with out assistance (short distances), nearly running and dancing. It truly is amazing, and it still takes my breath away when I see him on his feet!
Zac's platelet levels have remained at a safe level (about 1/4 of the average child) since he was 3 1/2 months old!
Cai is the protective, helpful older brother...with the exception of those "normal" brotherly love moments;-)
All in all we are doing well, just dealing primarily with "normal" life challenges. We are so pleased to have gone through the past few years to be where we are now. It truly has been the best of times -the worst of times. We thank God, and our friends and family and all of you who have given in so many ways to help us through, we are so grateful!!!
