Hello everyone!
Zach was discharged on Monday, 11-24. The wonderful thing about that is that his counts during this round were not expected to be going up for another week or more and on the 24th day, they started the upward trend. God is good!!!
His blood infection was taken care of with the antibiotics and they are going to treat him with IV antibiotics prior to his counts going to zero next round. We are going back to the hospital Monday Dec 1 for blood work and if his counts are high enough, he will admitted for his last round of chemo. If they aren't high enough we come home and check in a few more days. We were extremely lucky to be home for Thanksgiving but I don't think we will be out for Christmas......but it doesn't matter where we are.....as long as we are together and he is ok.....who cares....Life is good. I have become quite good at decorating his room and plan on putting a xmas tree up when we go back. The way I look at it...the more homey and comfy I make it, the better it is for him.
Since coming home he is eating as usual...in fact making up. We have been playing in the snow for 2 days and just having a wonderful time outside and being together. Jim has had since Tuesday off and Josh came home today.
Josh is home for Thanksgiving and then he heads back to Florida as housing was just too expensive for him in the Burlington area. He leaves Dec 1.
I've included some pictures from the past few days of fun!
Thanks for everyones prayers and support. Please know that we appreciate everything everyone has done for Zach and for us and we are so grateful. One day I hope to write everyone individually as I have kept a list of things...but for now I hope that when you read this you know that we are very thankful and appreciate each and every thing.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone......I know we will have a wonderful day..we have sooooo much to be thankful for!

Hello all, I'm so Thankful that you are better and having fun in the SNOW!!! Isn't it fun to make snow Angels? When you go to camp again, on the power pole that has the number 250 on it, look 2 feet above that and you will see where I marked how high the snow was in winter 1998-99. Have a great Thanksgiving, keep getting better. Love you all...Aunt Eileen
Wow, we are so happy to know that you got to be home for Thanks giving!!! We loved the pictures and Sawyer really wants to come and visit so he can play in the snow as well. Enjoy your time at home. We miss all of you!!!!

Zachary and family,
How wonderful it is that you were at home for Thanksgiving. You are doing so well, I know you will be home to stay soon.
I loved the picture of you making the snow angel. Isn't that fun to do! I use to make them all the time when I was little. We had snow here in NC a couple of weeks ago, but it was only here for half a day. It was beautiful, and made me think of VT.
Keep smiling and getting better.
Love from your Aunt Patty
Belated HAPPY THANKSGIVING...I was feeding a hungry houseful, but you weren't far from my thoughts, Porter family! So, my favorite little Porter, what do you think of all that white stuff falling out of the sky????????
