Zachary is doing well today. They took the stitches out of his head this morning and it looks so much better! Ken and I looked at the ultrasound results from his head scan and it turns out that 30% of the left side of his brain is damaged from the bleed that he had earlier in his life. It also showed that the ventricles are still swelling up and they are doing ventricular taps on him to drain the fluid when it builds up. The doctor told us that he can almost guarantee that he will need a shunt placed for the rest of his life. We appreciate all of the prayers and kind thoughts through this process! We all need to remember that these doctors are practicing medicine and that there is only one who knows what his life will be like. We all need to keep our faith strong and trust that God will have mercy on him.
