I appologize it has been a while since the last update. Zachary has recovered fully from surgery. Blair and Keri have not received the results from the biopsy but anticipate hearing something by the end of the week. There has been little improvement in Zach's muscle tone and movement so they are really hopeful for answers. He developed a cold after surgery and it took a couple of weeks for him to recover. He was receiving oxygen while he was sick but he is back to breathing on his own again. In researching the cause for Zach's heart rate drops, he was evaluated by an ear, nose, and throat specialist. They determined he has a condition called Laryngomalacia, which means he has a "floppy" airway/larynx. Treatment for this condition will be decided after Blair and Keri receive biopsy results and have a better understanding of his overall health.
There is hope of bringing Zach home next week if his breathing and heart rate stay stable.
Thank you for your continued concern and prayers.
Here are a few updated pictures of our precious Zach....
