Zach.

Zach has a cool webpage now. These are my sisters words. 
Zach had a previously undiagnosed heart problem. He got an infection and it caused an aortic aneuism. Miraculously the aneurism bled out into his esophogus. The amazing nurses and doctors at Children's Hospital kept him alive, giving him blood until he could get to surgery. Zach required 90 units of blood overall. They repaired his aorta by replacing a large piece of it. They also tried to repair his esophogus with a graft. On Friday July 20th he had to go back into surgery because the graft on his esophogus didn't hold. They have closed off his esophogus at the top and the bottom to give the middle time to heal. He has a feeding tube now. If you want to help please donate blood. Without that 90 units from donors Zach wouldn't be here. We would like to refill there supply. He is still in ICU so visitors are limited. As always, keep praying
He has also been called a Miracle and Mr. Incredible. It's been a rough ride for this guy. Thankfully he is still with us. I'm so thankful for the time we had with him just a few weeks ago.

How scary! Thankful that he is a miracle, and will keep praying that he fully recovers. Glad you got to spend time with him earlier this summer!
