Stuck In the Mud!


You thrill me Lord with all you have done for me! I sing for joy because of what you have done. Psalm 92:4

The latest on Zachary: Our big boy is sleeping through the night and is no longer needing pain medications. We no longer have to eat in shifts (Nancy would eat her supper in 3 minutes while she was liquifying Zachary's; Lonnie would eat when Zach was done--so he didn't see our solid food). Now we can sit down together and eat--Zach is not offended by seeing Momma & Daddy's solid food and utensils. He is eating much better---we don't have to bribe him for each bite like we did 2 weeks ago! Zachary has even been feeding himself lately. We take off one arm restraint and he uses that hand to feed himself with his cups. He has not tried putting his hand in his mouth when we have the restraint off. We keep a close eye on him, just in case he tries though!!! We head back to Iowa City next Monday afternoon.....only 17 more "cup meals" for Zachary, but who's counting?!! If all looks well he should be released to eat a soft diet with a spoon and to get rid of the arm restraints!

Those arm restraints haven't really slowed Zachary down at all. He can still throw rocks and sticks into the water, jump, run super fast and swing. He has recently learned about underdogs so he looooooves the swing.

Hope you enjoy these photos....you should have been there when he got stuck in the mud and Daddy had to pull him out!


Throwing rocks with Daddy on sturdy ground....



A slide into the mud with Daddy to the rescue!

I think it's funny that Zach would rather sink in the mud than let go of his rock. LK
