Zach's One Year Transplant Anniversary My thoughts are such a jumble this week. We're preparing for our 1 year visit to Stanford. It's so strange, our joy is tempered by the pain we feel for the donor family. The one year waiting period to send a information package to the donor family will soon pass. We've been working on a letter and a some home video to send to the donor family but are at a loss for words. There were many times I would have traded my own life for Zachary's but only someone we've never met could make the choice to save our son. Thank you seems so inadequate but it's all we have. We leave for Palo Alto tomorrow , Zach's appointment is on Tuesday the 9th on the exact day one year ago that he started his new life. As the day gets closer I hope that we can all take some time out from that day and give thanks to God for the chance for a new life for our son Zachary. Zach has progressed tremendously and everything about him is a miracle the way he laughs, cries and runs and plays, Each new thing that he does is a milestone even when he tries to use a fork or plays with a toy in a new way to me it is all so amazing because a year ago we were not even sure that we would have our son let alone be where we are at today. As we watch the video's from the a year or even two years ago all we can do is thank God and all of our friends and family for all the support and prayers that they have given us. Zach is now only on 7 medications which is great considering right after the transplant he was on 13 different medications, and we have been so lucky because the only complications that we seemed to have had are very minor colds which I think are due to allergies. Zach is now attending the Spokane Guilds School which helps developmentally disabled children who are challenged and need help to catch up on occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech therapy which is what Zachary is getting help on.
