Moving On Up...

So, it's been a few days since our last update. We appreciate all of the prayers and support that are continuing to pour in for Zechariah and our family. Over the last few days quite a bit has happened... 

• Zechariah left the PICU on Sunday afternoon. He has been on one of the recovery floors gaining strength, trying to rest, and learning all about the importance of taking all of his medicines.
• The one area Zak could really use your prayers is in the area of helping to take is medicines. We are all learning about the total number of meds, as of the time I am righting this update. The total number of meds can be around 30 meds or more a day for at least the first six months. The previous four days Zak has had to face anxiety, fear, and other battles. God's grace IS sufficient for him and we know Zak will be victorious through time. We are working with him to help talk the medicines and have found may useful techniques from the nurses and friends who have help others before. The last two days Zak is starting to show progress and we would ask that you would pray in that way.
• Zechariah has gained a lot of strength back. He has worked with the Physical Therapist and Occupational Therapist to help him walk on his own use the simple things, like a tooth brush.
• The other day he sat up for about 15 minutes in the play room coloring a picture with Mom and today he scored 10,000 points playing bean bag toss. He was very excited to share that!

Overall, we are amazed at how well Zak is doing. God is the one who receives all the glory for making it possible to give our son new life!!!

In fact, we were even able to sit down, at the table and have a Kindberg Family Meal together, with Zak, Ali, Kathy, and myself for the first time since since Aug. 11. We treasure these little routines we have know that it is what makes us sparkle.
