He's Free!

Yesterday's appointment went well. Dr Canady was pleased with how things looked; turns out that Zach didn't harm anything when he got out of his arm restraint and pulled off the super glue and a few stitches last Friday! The doctors snipped off the bolsters and pulled an assortment of little things out of his nose. We had no idea how much he was packing up there.

No more arm cuffs. No more liquid diet. No more sleeping only on his back. We are back to normal. The Dr did say it will still be healing for the next week, so we're going to do mittens at bed times, so he doesn't pick, explore, etc. too much.

The next surgery (for the palate) is scheduled for April. We will enjoy our freedom until then;)

Thanks for all your prayers, words of encouragement and activity ideas over the last few weeks.

Thank you for being so regular about posting pictures on the blog...and your updates. Yes, we are still following Zach's story, and keeping all of you in our prayers.

It is an amazing thing how God set us up to "heal."
