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!!!

E-mail July 22, 2008 

Dear friends and family,

Just a quick note to let you know that we are back in Baltimore and all set for
Zac's surgery tomorrow.  The surgery is at 7:30am, tomorrow, Wed.

We had the pre-op apt. with Dr. Paley on Monday.  He said that he was ready with
a plan for the surgery, that he had learned a few things from the  other leg
that might help to preserve the cartlage, he seemed to be very hopeful for an
even better outcome than with the right leg.

Thank you for keeping us in your prayers as we face this process again.  Zac is
doing well, and seems to be healthy, aside from a busted lip from brothers head
earlier this evening!;) It is a good sign that the bleeding stopped
quickly...the platelets should be in good standing for the surgery.  They will
check those in the morning.  Hopefully no transfusions will be necessary! 
Please pray that Zac will remain healthy through the surgery.  We are a little
skittish after the last 2 times!

Our nerves are ok right now, although it is never easy to face these surgeries. 
In some ways it is more challenging knowing what is ahead.  We have each had our
moments of crying out to Jesus, and so, we have peace now, knowing that God is
in control.  We are also to the point of lets just get past this...

We give God the praise for bringing us to this far, and for the work that He is
doing in our lives.

Thank you!
James, LeAnn, Cai, and Zac
