Today Zachary is on the 12th floor and engaging in physical therapy. He still has a lot of restrictions on the amount of weight that he can put on his legs and arms, but being surrounded by other patients that have been through the same type of trauma has made us realize how truly lucky Zach is. The long term prognosis for a lot of them is not as good as it is for Zach.
He will be there on the 12th floor until next Tuesday (at least), and then they will review his case to determine if it will be best for him to stay or to have him come home.
He desperately wants to be home, and we would like for him to be here as soon as possible, but we are nervous to bring him home when he is still so sick, and has open incisions that could become infected. If he had his way he would come home today.
He has had a lot of friends visit him in the hospital and he enjoys that tremendously. It has been fun for us to meet some of the parents of his friends and to hear how much they appreciate and like Zach.......helps us to feel as if we have done something right.
We want to thank everyone for their support. Mere words cannot begin to describe the outpouring that we have encountered. There truly are great people in this world.
