Friday, July 18, 2008 in the morning

Good morning everyone. Mom and I got our first real sleep last night. During the night, they removed the ventilator for about 30 minutes; however Zander did not like it. In any event they put him back on the ventilator to keep his airway open but he is breathing room air and the ventilator is just being used to keep his airway open.
Christie showered for the first time this morning and she is walking (gingerly). We are going to be here through Saturday for sure...maybe longer.
We saw Zander earlier this morning. He is still doing great! He is still beautiful and fighting hard. Enjoy the pics and thank you for the comments.
I will write soon.....

WOW!! Zander is just beautiful!! It did bring back some long ago memories for us - as we left the hospital we were remembering those days! We are confident things will continue to go well for all of you. We love you and are praying for you every day!!

Hey guys. Zander's lucky to have such great parents as you two. I'm so happy that you can now spend time with him. The power of touch is so important. Thanks for keeping us updated.
Love you,

Zander is beautiful! What a wonderful sight to see you two touching him. Now he really knows those voices he has been hearing for the last 9 months.
You are in my thoughts and prayers constantly. God is good and he has and will work more miracles through medicine and love.
Thank you for letting us know how things are progressing through this media.
Love you,
Diane Stacy

Hi Christie and family,
Maureen had sent an email to the Alpine teachers and I wanted to let you know that I will continue keeping your precious baby Zander in my prayers. Jesus loves the Little Children!
My thought and prayers are with you.
