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!!!
