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 update 3/09

Dear Friends and Family,

Just a quick update to fill you in on our ever-changing lives. We will be back in Baltimore on March 31st for the removal of the external fixator. This has been a long time coming and we are all looking forward to seeing this fixator go!. Zac's leg will be casted with a removable cast so that we will be able to continue bending his leg a few times per day. (We are now getting about 50% range of motion in the new knee!) Then about 4-6 weeks later he will be fitted with a brace. This is all very exciting as we approach the completion of the process for the left leg. Zac will receive a new brace and a shoe stack for his right leg this week; providing more equal length and stability. I expect to see Zac standing longer and longer once this is in place. Although not yet completed, this is a good place to be in the process!

We have had an unbelievable few weeks as several things have fallen into place in other areas of our lives. God has always provided in amazing ways. With James being out of work for a while, and I only working part time, we have continued the Cobra insurance coverage as without it these surgeries would not be possible. The company that the insurance was through changed benefits carriers which gave us an extra month to make a payment, but then 2 payments were coming due and we were unsure how we would be able to cover both payments. Just in time our income tax return came through and we were able to make the payments! Then the next week James received a job offer and began working the following week. We are praising God for providing these things in just the right timing! James is now an employee of MasTec Advanced Technologies and will be installing DirecTV satellite systems. He is very excited about this as it will use several of the things that he has been training for as well as his natural technical interests. It was such a long time coming after hundreds of applications, and with the challenging job market we are just so grateful!
God is so good -through it all!

Thank you for all of your prayers. We love you all.

James, LeAnn, Cai, and Zac
