Today has been another great day for Zechariah. He is still not out of the woods yet, but we are beginning to see progress down the road of healing for just having a new heart put in last Friday evening.
Today's big news has been his ventilator. Currently the ventilator has been helping him breath since receiving his new heart. The nurses has told that he will be on the ventilator for a few more days. Having the ventilator help him breath is good while his body and his heart are "getting to know each other" along with all of the medicine he is on.
As I am writing this, Zak's overnight nurse has informed me that they will be weaning him off of the ventilator over night and through most of the day on Monday. This is good news! This meaning that his body is showing signs of strength and he is able to breath on his own a little more and more.
Please keep this in your prayers for Monday and the next few day. Thank you.
Thanks to a wonderful new media system in the ICU room we have been able to play Pandora.com Shout Kids Radio Station, a Christian radio station right above his bed. The music has helped keep a peacful atmosphere in the hospital room.
Thank everyone for your prayers and to all our friends and family who continue to show supports. : )

Praying a "thank you" counts big time! This whole life here we can only see what can be seen through a peep hole in a door. Like looking through a pin hole, we can't see all that is happening. So, every good thing that happens we can pray a thank you because so little of what happens is in our hands. Today my prayer is a thank you for the Healer's Hand on Zak. May all those who love Zak feel that hand also and know that there are no accidents.
Awesome!!!! God is so wonderful, we give you praise and honor to our king of kings Jesus! Thank you for the incredible parents you have surrounded Zechariah with, we continue to lift up Zechariah and pray that you'd help his recovery with the new heart, help his body adjust accordingly to the way you have designed it. Lord Jesus, we love you and give you all the praise and glory!!
Thank you for the update, praying often for precious little Zak.
