A quick recap (hoping I don't forget anything). All good things started to happen in February when I got accepted into St. Joseph's College of Nursing (2 yr every other F/S/S program for my RN), then in April we went on a very relaxing family vacation to Myrtle Beach. Talk about a great time, the kids loved every minute of it and can't wait to go back again. May, Zachary graduated from pre-k, turned 5 and really started to blossom as a little boy. At the end of May was Marissa's 9th year of Dance Recital, soccer & softball started for her. June brought another summer season of the Doubledays, along with my school starting, Zachary started baseball, along with Marissa's sports still. In June Zachary also had a dr. apt with his ortho and they where concerned about his leg and took him out of all activities. So that was heart breaking for him. July was just a busy month of sports and baseball games and the kids went camping with Nonnie Judi for a week. August came around and thats when things started to fall apart on us. 2 days before Rob and I where going away for a little adult vacation (Vegas Baby!!!!!!) Zachary was complaining of leg pain and wasn't acting right. We called his ortho and we went right in. Well the xrays showed he had some deteration of his femur and just everyday walking was causing stress on it. She ordered a MRI and that was done the week we got back from Vegas. Well that showed new tumor growth, and the detioration. Well we got referred to another dr and that lead us down a long road to Boston Children's Hospital.
Boston has been great, and they have been very active in diagnosing Zachary, and working on getting him up to par.
September was our first trip to Boston and it was a long 3 days of non-stop Dr. Visits. October was a typical month (which was needed very much), November we went back to Boston and Zachary had eye surgery. They removed some of the skin growth on his eye so it wasn't blocking his vision. He did very well and so far its been a success. December has been very hectic with the holiday and just everyday life. We got the call regarding the surgery for Zachary and that will be Wednesday February 4, 2009. So please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we prepare for that and during it.
So we are now hoping for a better 2009 and will keep everyone posted to as to whats going on.
