May update
I'm very sorry for not updating sooner.....
Zach is doing wonderful! We just went 4 weeks between dr visits and his blood test is PERFECTLY normal! WHEW! The echocardiogram results will be given tomorrow. One of the side effects of one of the chemo meds was/is heart damage. So, frequent echocardiograms and ekgs were done before, during and now after treatment. His last echo in Feb showed a slight enlargement of his left ventricle, but the function of the heart was fine (it pumped out blood normally) So today, the re-evaluated the enlargement and the function. So...tomorrow I will know if its the same or getting bigger.
Zach is just being a normal "almost" 7 kid. He loves school, plays a lot.....he is starting t-ball saturday. He lost his 2 front bottem teeth and now he is hooked by the "tooth fairy" money....so he wants more teeth gone...like yesterday! His hair is all grown back and he has had his first full haircut. He also had his Make A Wish trip to the Nick hotel in Orlando which included universal and islands of adventure. He had a great time, saw his best friend Sawyer and his family, Ashley and Josh and his grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. All that with being slimed...he is happy
We are still staying at the house that Louise has 'loaned" too us.....all I can say in God is good...and he takes care of all your needs. She has offered for us to stay on and we will until she needs it or next spring comes.....We hope to be able to build our house next year in Danville, but we will have to see.
I have to go...we are playing a family game of Trouble......it gets dangerous!
I will write some more later and post some pictures
Happy Spring/almost Summer
