Zac is home and sleeping in his own bed!!! There is a bed, nurse and doctor shortage in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick like here so the patient gets to go home as soon as they can get him out of the hospital. He will have to go for X-ray and a broncoscopy in about 4 weeks, just to make sure he is ok. And he is on antibotics for the pneumonia.
What caused the bleeding? The doctors do not know. Is anyone researching this, Probably not. No money, researchers or time. So we may never know.
Sherri and Darren (parents) are finally coming down from the roller coaster ride. Imagine, one week ago we were all sitting a waiting room in the ICU, tears in our eyes, not knowing whether Zac would live or not. The prognosis was not good! And today he is home, weak but still home, walking slowly and a bit unbalanced but he is getting better and stronger every day. He is a fighter and a survivor and well loved. Thank you to everyone who sent their hugs and prayers. It worked.
I will keep you posted on Zac, on his progress and I will let you know if anything new comes from the doctors.

What amazing news. I didn't see the Zac posts before the flower ones and had no idea how traumatic your last couple of weeks had been. I'm so glad that things are turning around.
If you two decide to do a fundraiser or something like that I'd be happy to donate some work. I know the financial costs of something like this are heavy. Believe, believe, believe!

Heart felt thanks that your Zac is back home and that you are back safely on the wet coat. I can say not more for fear of becoming political.
I would also happily donate some work if you were to have a fundraiser.
cheers - this time from Penticton
