Zach's out of MRI and on the way home.
 
  His MRI shows that Zach is stable which means that there is no change from earlier MRI's.   Which is good!
 
  Zach had some reactions to the anesthesia which resulted in tremors from that.   They taped his eyes and there's a sensitivity to the tapes.   
 
    But he's doing great!   And we  praise the Lord God in Heaven and we thank you for your abiding interests and prayers.
 
    The doctors think that Zach is doing so well that they want him on "Children Miracle Network Telethon" to tell his story.
 
    Thank you for praying for Zach!
 
 Zach's family:       
Tracy, Stefan, Britt 
Granddaddy, Grandma, Granny,
 Uncle Darin and Aunt Heidi
***************************
September 8, 2004:  Zach visited Shands at
Gainesville, FL, for his regular MRI.  Report
results were great!  Thanks to Dr. Smith and
Shands and to Him who governs all.
*****************************
December 19, 2005; Zach visits Shands.  His
MRI shows Zach's "brain scar" has reduced in
size.   The scar influences seizures. (Zach still
takes medication to inhibit these).
*****************************
July, 2008; Zach continues to go to Shands for his seizures. 
His tests indicate that the seizures may originate
in both hemispheres of his brain. The medical team have
further studies scheduled for August and September 2008.
Granddad is copying Dad's journal and will publish here later.
