Check out my cool shirt!!

Zachary has been having more tummy pain today; The DRS came in around noon today and they did say that Zachary has Pancreatitis and a small bowel obstruction, not good.  So the stomach and bowels are not working at all and the plan is to keep him on TPN and watch him very close. That Drs said that it could take another 5 weeks! or even longer it depends on what Zachary’s body is going to do next. 

Please pray that Zachary can be pain free and that his little body to heal.

BUMMER! Pancreatitis is no fun. BEnji’s levels have been coming down the past couple of days and hopefully he will be able to go home in a few days.

In reading about your van, ask the hospital SW if they have any funding ideas. Also, Salvation Army sometimes has funding for stuff like that. If you are staying at RMH you may want to ask there too. We were there in January and I remember that they had some grant and funding opportunities from outsides places on display by the elevators. Can you tell I am a social worker by profession?

Hi,All,

Just want you to know that I have been following your blogs for the last few weeks. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. I will also add you to our Church prayer list if it’s OK with you. Tell Zach to keep strong – he is certainly a tough little boy.

Hello Zack and family. I think of you often Zach and check your progress almost daily. I also continue to say a prayer for you. I know you will get through all these set backs. You are such a tuff little guy. It’s just amazing what you have been through and yet you can still smile:) What a guy! I want to come see you sometime, but am waiting for you to start feeling better. Please let me know. Bye for now. Joe
