Zachary had a very busy day with lots of surprise visitors, which I think was good for Zachary. Zachary didn’t have time to think about the black spiders, but as soon as everyone left the black spiders came back. I am able to get him to lie down in his own bed, but as soon as you try to cover him up he starts to kick and scream. Hopefully he will have a better night and will be able to get some sleep. The DRS said that the Med should pass out of his system hopefully by tomorrow; if he is still hallucinating tomorrow then they are talking about doing a MRI on his brain to see what else could be going on.

 We started Zachary on 5cc an hour of pedialite and within an hour his tummy started to get distended; he did start to pass gas, so we are going to keep the pedialite going until he starts to throw up green Bio again; which we don’t want! If he is not able to tolerate his feds then we will have to discuss another surgery. Zachary can’t be on TPN much long because his Kidney and Liver are taking a beating.

Neighbor boys!!

Neighbor boys!!

 

Zachary did have a great day! We went on a couple of walks played soccer with some of his friends from the neighborhood and it was so nice to see Kiley and Austin. I miss them so much!!

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers, please pray that Zachary will start to tolerate his feeds again and his stomach and bowels will start to work. That is all his body needs to do so we can take him home as a family again.
