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!!!

Please pray for one of our support kids family....

My heart is heavy as I post this. One of our kids on the TAR support group (also named Isaac) passed away. It is hitting way too close to home! I think when they are doing so well, we forget about the dangers of having low platelets. I just can't stop crying right now. Please pray for this family.

The post on the TAR Support group site:
"It with great sorrow and tears that I write this email. Isaac passed away yesterday. He fell Saturday and hit his head. Trauma was worse that what we expected and his brain would not stop swelling. We wanted everyone to know as we know many people do not take the paper.

Services will be at Debaun Funeral Home on Wednesday July 15 from 4 pm - 8 pm. Funeral services will be help at 10:00 am Thursday morning." Christa Foust

so sorry to hear this. I understand how you feel as this is how I feel when I hear or read about a brain cancer patient passing away. It does hit very close to home and my heart is heavy with yours today. I will pray for this family as well as for you. Keep holding tight to the Savior.
