The 700 Club!

Well...we have made it....9 weeks in and Zac is a member of the 700 Club - 785cc in the front expander and 705 cc in the back expander!  During this past fill, the front port wasn't numb yet...eek.  Zac cried a little but kept still so we could finish.  And look at the happy look on his face right after this week's fill!  What an incredible little guy!  He is my hero!!!                                                                      

We had a busy weekend with lots of birthday celebration.  We went out to dinner for Zac & Zoie's birthday last night (yes...born on the same day...four years and 1 hour apart for those of you who don't already know).  Zac loved drinking from the bowl of salsa...and Zoie enjoyed the company of her best friend, Dani.  Watching Zac and Zoie sit side by side and blow out candles - Zac with his Lightening McQueen candle and Zoie with her giant sombrero it made me think of my brother.  I know that Zac & Zoie have a special guardian angel.  Next week we head back to Chicago.  Whew...these 10 weeks went quick!!  Please pray for us for safe travels and a successful surgery.  It really helps to know that Zac is in the best hands with Dr. B.  Last night I came home to an email from Dr. Bauer saying that Zac looked 'fantastic' and 'Happy Birthday'!  Thank you God helping us find Dr. Bauer - he is amazing!

For those of you who don't know, we were lucky enough to have a wonderful story written about us in Images Magazine.  If you haven't read it...check it out, not only is it fantastically written by an amazing journalist with her own amazing personal stories - Amanda Christmann Larson but it also features some terrific pictures by a photographer named Jerri Parness - Zac was absolutely in love with her and she had him walking hand-in-hand with her during the entire photo shoot.   Thank you ladies for painting our story so incredibly and thank you Images Magazine for letting us share our story!
