Update

Just a quick note....Zachary has had a tough time and still isn't "back to himself" but he is headed in the right direction. The blood infection is treated, the blood in his urine is gone, his fever is low grade at times and he is still very tired. His appetite has not come back yet and he is still receiving TPN and Lipids (IV nutrition). He has eaten 4 pieces of bread in the past 10 days. So....progress is in the right direction but like the Dr said, not only was this round of chemo the hardest, but the blood infection in itself can knock you down for awhile. So, all the above has just taken a toll on his little body and it will take time to heal. One day at a time as long as its in the right direction

The most exciting thing is.....his counts are officially starting to kick in...little bits but his bone marrow is starting to come to life!!!! This is earlier than anticipated but who the heck cares...thats a great wonderful thing.

Yesterday it snowed like crazy and that made him pop out of bed a few times to go to the window. It was so exciting to see...as you all know....this is why we moved here...cold weather (of course all the other things as well) but there is nothing like watching the snow come down. Zach was so excited.

so....I have to get back to the room. Noni....Jims mom Lorraine, has been here for a few weeks and has been a wonderful help, has to go back to Florida today. She has cooked food for us...so we won't go hungry as its all in the freezer!!!

I'll write more later
