We met with Zachary's surgeons today and he can now walk using a walker. He is so excited. In 4 weeks we will go back in to see if he can move to crutches.
Then we met with his trauma surgeon to discuss when he can be rid of the ileostomy. We will need to go back to see him in May but we are looking at the beginning of June for him to have that taken down. They will also do a second surgery to re-form his scar on his abdomen.
Zach also asked if it was okay for him to drive. The doctor told him he would need to make sure that all of his reflexes are at 100% so it will be awhile before he will be able to....Thank you doctor.
So we are getting rid of a couple more things that he "brought" home with him from the hospital. We are getting rid of his bed in the family room and also getting rid of his wheelchair. Just a few more things and then we will be back to normal.

He is sooo lucky to be alive. It is amazing at what doctors can do these days. It's sad to see how lasting so many symptoms are, poor guy, but he made it!! That is so wonderful! Go Zach!
