 Zachary is doing AWESOME!! And feeling great!! Today we built a Sponge Bob house with Lego’s for 4 hours straight and my mom came up with her puppy Nicki.

Nicki and Me!!

Nicki and Me!!

This is day 38 since Feb!!! We are ready to go home! 

 

Zachary is tolerating 20cc an hour!! of guess what? YES half strength Peptem JR and Pedialite; this is HUGE for Zach. The Kidney DRS are still leaning towards that he will have another bowel obstruction because of the X-Ray and even if he tolerates his feds they are planning on keeping him for a few days just to monitor him closely. I just pray that we can be home for Easter.

The DRS also talked to us about the next surgery that Zachary is going to need in about 6 months to fix the mistake that they did; To redo the Nissen, but next time we are either going to Milwaukee or to the Mayo Hospital. We have a few months to do our research.

Thank you to our friend Jen, she is the one who set up this Website 4 years ago so we could update Zachary’s followers. She is trying to set up a auto email for updates. Thank you Jen!! You are AWESOME!!

Thank you for all your prayers,

Stacey

Hello Zach, Wade and Stacey: This is about the best news ever. I work outside, and it is a cold, nasty day, but knowing Zach is happy makes it like its sunny and 75! And congrats on doing that sponge Bob house—those legos looked mighty small—were they bigger in younger days, or have my eyes grown dim? Ah—the dexterity of youth! Have a great day, Zach! :-)

keep on truckin’ Zach ! Sooo happy to hear you had a good day !

Just wanted to write and let you know I’m thinking about you. Hang in there, you’re doing great!

Hugs and kisses,
Kendall
