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!!!

Zac is doing much better with the pain management. He is however, on the second round of antibiotics as it was apparent that he was once again infected. The pin site infections are VERY common. The antibiotic is pre-prescribed so that we can have it filled whenever we see the first signs of infection. It is so nice to finally be off of the heavy med.s, and have Zac very close to the Zac that he was before the surgery. He is often frustrated with things, but what 2 yr old isn't. He is scooting on his bottom again, almost as fast as he did before. He can reach things off of the floor much better than he did before as he has better balance, and his foot is not in his way anymore. All in all things are going well. We return to Baltimore on Monday Sept. 8th, hurricane permitting!

You have been in my thoughts! His leg looks beautiful!!
Hey Leann! I have been behind on reading blogs, and just read your last few. My heart just really goes out to you. I remember how strongly overwhelmed I felt even thinking about Connor and the whole IEP program, evaluations, school thing. I didn't even want to go there, and you are facing way more than I ever did. I can only imagine how this all makes you feel. If you ever need to vent, or ask questions or anything, you can always email me at cowens1219@aol.com.
His legs look amazing and he is growing so quickly. He is such a cutie. I wish we lived closer to one another, I am sure we would have a lot to talk about.
Blessings and prayers to you and yours.
