So let's just start with Sunday...This day the meds were tapered off. Lots of excitement...Glad to have Elon visit. "Zach you turned your head in Elons' direction." (Way to go Zach.) "Then you continued on "pressure support" on the respirator"...good job Zach! "Then you became agitated...moving BOTH your arms. This caused an increase in your blood pressure, heart rate & respirations..to which you were medicated to calm down."
"Tonight, Monday was so very impressive. complete with cheers coming from your room." We arrived tonight at 9pm, to see you sitting up in Bed. You opened your eyes briefly and looked at us! " (You find it hard to keep your eyelids totally open.) "Then you proceeded to respond to many difficult commands such as....moving your thumb, squeezing my hand and releasing the squeeze, moving your big toe, waving (sort of), & most impressive....sticking out your tongue!
What a joy! Zach is Back!
As the Dow plunges, Zach soars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"True heroism consists in being superior to the misfortunes of life." Napoleon
YOU are my hero, Zach.

What a wonderful message and the one we all have been waiting for!! The visual of Zach's re-entry by sticking out his tongue is perfect. We all are cheering for continued and speedy improvement in the days ahead and looking forward to the blog entry telling us that Zach is headed home. With love and best wishes from Bill, Joanie and Nick Webber (Bike & Build - CWM07/08)

You brought tears of happiness to my eyes when I read your entry just now! What an amazing, exciting thrill & simultaneous sense of relief!!! You (& we) are one the plateau overlooking the view, below, the beautiful hills, valleys, colorful trees, and the winding road that leads to the houses, and back to your cozy home!! We can see you'll be there, in your own time. You are an amazing family of strength and love. Congratulations on these landmark days! Love, Sylvia
