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

don't you just love the game TROUBLE? That is our absolute favorite here on game nights! Give us some popcorn, junk food and that game and we are all set for the night. So glad you are doing so well. The prayer shawl ministry at our church had its first meeting last night and we had 20 shawls to start handing out to people in need. I was able to tell them how i learned about them because of you and how, with Gods love, you were healed. People continue to pray for you here at Lake of the Woods Church!
Love, Aunt Sharon, Uncle Tim, Nathan and Ben
Wow, Zachary, you sure are an amazing boy. It's wonderful to see that you are doing so well. It makes me smile, and my heart sing. Looks like you had a great time at the Nick Hotel. I talked to Noni, and she told me they went there to visit with you. She was so happy to see you. It won't be long before they are in VT again.
Enjoy summer, and swimming, and fishing and all the other great stuff there is to do.
Love Aunt Patty
Hi Zachary, I'm so happy that you are better!! I'll have to come up to camp and go fishin' with you and Dad. I'm happy that you had SO MUCH FUN at the Nick Hotel. It looks like a cool place to be! See you soon...Love you all..Auny Eileen
