Update

Hello everyone!

Zach is doing well with no infections or complications at this time. He continues with no counts....but we are past the 21st day of a chemo cycle so any day now......He had a great Christmas and all the new toys are wonderful as he has been in isolation now for over 2 weeks. The staff here is wonderful and with family visiting they let us open the glass door between our room and the next room over since there really isn't a lot of kids on the floor right now....so we have doubled are space which is GREAT!! We put his videos games over in that room...so he can have more room to play Wii and they also provided us with a bigger table so we can all eat together when family comes. Uncle Bob, Aunt Karen and cousins Emily and Selena came on Dec 23rd for the afternoon and Uncle Bob and Aunt Yvette came to see us the day after Christmas and we had a great time, as always, seeing everyone.

Zach's hair is starting to grow back and he has his first loose tooth! He is very excited. He is looking forward to going to church and starting sunday school and joining scouts. And he was given some hockey skates with a stick and gear and is excited to learn to skate on Joes Pond.

Thats all for now. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and we wish all a Happy New Year! Thank you for all the prayers and we continue to ask for them for Zachs healing, protection and that no cancer of any kind ever returns

I'll write more soon!
Steph

Hey, we loved the pictures! After you are a pro on ice skating you can teach Sawyer. He would love to see snow and ice skate. Keep fighting and we will see you soon. We miss all of you!!!
