Zachary had another great night! I love these updates. I am also feeling much better, thanks to Karen for coming up yesterday and then Wade  came up last night and stayed with Zachary and I went home and slept in my own bed. Yes, that felt AWESOME!!

Zachary is doing great!!He is up to 40cc an hour of his Peptem JR we only have 30cc to go!! Last night and today he has been feeling a little nausea and he has thrown up about 4 times, so the DRS are a little concerned. We are not going to stop his feeds unless he starts to throw up green Bio. If we can get his feeds to 70cc an hour by the weekend the DRS said that we can hopefully be home by Easter!!! Keep the prayers coming, Kiley is having a really hard time with us not being all together as a family and she has missed 2 days of school because she is sick too. Last night I picked her up from Grandma and Grandpa’s house and gave her the loven that she desperately needed.

Wade took the day off today to hang out with Zachary and to finally bring the Van in to get it Fixed, When it rains it pours! I pray that it’s not serious.

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers,

Stacey

Keep heading in that direction Zach. The Easter Bunny wants to visit you at home! You keep getting better. I want nothing but good news on this web site going forward now!

Hi Button ! Glad your are still having good days, little guy. We got a new driveway today which is not a big deal to little people but it sure made Aunty Fern happy ! Note to Button’s Mummy: Don’t worry about the van…everything is gonna be alright. Love you all. Our prayers with yours for nothing but positive energy ahead !

They say things come in threes – so Zachary is getting better, Stacey is feeling better and soon the van will be fixed. TA DA – three in one – now where have I heard that before! We are so happy to hear this good news. Keep up the fight, Zach, and soon you and the boys will be running the sac with your cars, scooters trucks and bikes. We love and miss you. D,C,G,G,G – It’s official we are dirt farmers – the dogs bring it in the house and I bring it back out again.

I’m so glad everyone is feeling better!! Including you!! I sure hope you guys make it home by Easter!!!!!

I can feel the weight starting to be lifted off your shoulders! I am so happy for all of you, that Zach got some daddy time and that Kiley got some time with her mommy! I think that you all did an amazing job despite how hard it was, I was given this piece of advice and have found it to be a compass in navigatin te family through this disease, that you always go to the one that needs you the most, and I think you guys did that wonderfully despite all the fires you all had to walk through to get to the other side! Hopeing this is the best Easter ever! hugs, Jill

I’m so glad things are starting to turn around. Way to go Zach!!
