Playing his game again and again and again!!

Playing his game again and again and again!!

 

Last night was really hard for Zachary to fall asleep, his little body was  really itchy until he finally crashed from being so exhausted he kept thinking that spiders were crawling all over him.  He finally fell asleep around 11:30pm and he is still sleeping and it is 9:30.  Zachary really needs his rest, as much as he can get so his body can heal.

 

 

 The plan today is to keep him on Pedialite, he is up to 15cc an hour!!!  That is AWESOME!!  Last time we tried to feed him when he got to 15cc he was throwing up not stop of green Bio.  We pray that his stomach and bowel start to work.

The goal for us to go home:

Zachary has to tolerate 70cc an hour of his Peptem JR

So yes, we still have a long ways to go, but this time I feel that Zachary is looking  and feeling much better. We are only on Pedialite but this is a big step for Zach.

Please keep Zachary in your prayers,

Stacey

Glad to hear that Zachary is doing a little better. We will pray for a few QUIET days! I was also wondering what blood type Zachary is, just in case we could possibly help out that way.

Here’s to sleep that knits the ravelled sleeve of care. Keep feeling better and better little boy. We love you.

Hello Mr. Zach! It was great seeing you tonight, and I think those Legos are the best! It was SOOOOOOO good to see you doing well and being happy! Next week you can show me the finished lego project—looked like a lot of work! Maybe we can show it to Ashton—he’s so little we can’t let him touch it, but he’ll like to see what big boys can build! God bless you, little man!

Your turning into Superman Zach keep up the great work and soon you’ll go home!

Not sure what I did to my post so will repost! It was nice seeing you guys yesterday. I hope that watching Dustin helped Zachary a little. Dustin said he will come show Zach again if he wants, just let us know. We are praying that Zachary continues to tolerate the pedialyte and that you can both go home soon!
