Today has been a pretty good day. They have cleared Zachary to return back to our home hospital from UNC today. However, it was a stormy day so I asked that they keep him here until the storms are completely gone and they agreed. He had a pretty rough afternoon. He had a few episodes (drop in heart rate) while we were visiting and we were having to shake him every few seconds to get him to start breathing again. The doctors said that he needed a blood transfusion to get his blood count back up. They went ahead and put him back on the ventalator so that he can get some rest tonight but said that he won't be back on the vent for long. We should be going back to Fayetteville monday or tuesday so please pray for a pleasant ride back to Cape Fear Valley Hospital!
