It's been a while since we've posted something so sorry to keep you all waiting! Ken and I just moved out of our house into an apartment that is closer to the hospital. Zachary is doing well today. He weighs 1lb 7.7 ounces so he's lost a very little bit of weight. The doctors have also upped his feedings to 5cc's an hour so they have taken him off of the TPN (nutrients) so now its up to me to give him what he needs! Everything is going well. We just need to be praying for the swelling that is still in his brain. The doctors are doing a spinal tap procedure today to try and relieve some of this pressure. The doctors keep telling us that he will most likely have to be transferred to Duke University Medical Center to undergo a brain surgery that will put a reservoir directly into his ventricles. WE KNOW THAT THE DOCTORS CAN TELL US WHAT THEY BELIEVE WILL HAPPEN, BUT WE ALSO KNOW AND TRUST THAT GOD IS THE ONLY ONE WHO WILL SAY WHAT WILL HAPPEN!! Zachary is strong and has proven to us time and time again that he can defeat the odds with the help of the Lord. Thanks for all of your prayers and warm thoughts!
