Zac's fixator was removed today...I for one was so happy about that, it has been a long time coming!!! My excitement, however, was dampened a bit when I saw the cast that he has to wear --thankfully for only 2 weeks. It is a Spica cast, which comes all the way up and forms into a waistband. I have heard horrible things about getting them wet and the smell that comes along with that. Like I said, thankfully it is only 2 weeks. The other thing is that he cannot sit up. it should be interesting trying to keep an almost 3 yr old named Zac down for 2 weeks. I was not planning this well as he will be in this cast over Easter. Then his cast will be made removable in order to mold him for the brace. He should have the brace in about a month.
We found out today that Dr. Paley will not be going to Orlando after all as the contract fell through there. He is still considering a place in FL., we should know the next time we come.
I will post pictures once I get a chance. We are at the H-P house at the hospital with limited computer access. I know some of you have e-mailed, but I have not had a chance to respond in part due to our home computer going down with a virus, hopefully all will be recovered this week...including pictures that I have not saved elsewhere!!!
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!!!
