About Me

My photo
As many of you already know, Zach fell off his skateboard on Saturday Sept. 6th. As a result of the fall, Zach suffered a traumatic, closed head injury and is listed in critical condition in the ICU at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte. Zach is currently under sedation and being kept in a paralytic state to help keep his intra cranial pressure as low as possible, which will help decrease the swelling in his brain. He has been placed in a RotoProne bed, which will help his lungs combat pneumonia which recently set in. Everyone is hopeful and optimistic regarding Zach’s long-term prognosis. The Monday after the accident, Zach was able to move his legs, arms, toes and even squeezed his mother’s hand on command. He has a long journey to recovery ahead of him, but he has his youth, great caretakers and a large group of friends and loved ones rooting for him. His family will be keeping this blog in an attempt to keep all of Zach’s friends and loved ones up to date on his condition. Please check back often as we will try to provide daily updates. You may also post your own comments and please know that Zach will read them soon.

Day 55 Feelin Alive


Hey everybody! Zach here! Just want to let you all know that I'm okay enough to do my own blog today. Tired from all the work I've been doing. Physical therapy has me tuckered, much props to Jennifer Cristenbury for that. There are a bunch of different therapies I'm doing that have got my head spinning and my body aching. I don't remember any of the accident and very little of the care I've received. Nevertheless I love the compassionate care I've had, and forget most of the faces that have given it. I don't know what else to write, so I'll have to stop here. I'm walking, working on my balance, and breathing way too hard. Thanks for the love you've sent me. I appreciate all the letters I've gotten and will return your postage as soon as I get free of this place.

THANK YOU ALL
Love,
Zach
