Good evening all. I hope everyone survived Wednesday. The boys have just gone to bed and I am sure that the Zman is also catching zzzzzzs.
Dr. Kelley confirmed today that Zander will go to surgery on Tuesday. Zander's food intake has been reduced to 55 ml every 3 hours; however, his liquids through the central line have been increased to keep the caloric intake the same. They are trying to minimize Zander's spit-ups/throw-ups. He had a few the past few days.
Christie, Jackson and I visited him earlier today. Grandma Pat and Grandma Judi also came to see him today. The Pod was shut down for most of the morning due to another baby not doing so well. Zander was doing fine this afternoon and he looked comfortable as he had just eaten. Typical male. He smiled during his sleep so it appears that he was having a good dream (he must be excited about college football starting this weekend).
Christie and the boys had a good day at school. The much needed rain has finally stopped...although we still need more. Christie is grading papers and I am quickly fading. All is well on the mountain tonight.
Ethan and his family are likely leaving the hospital in the next day or two. They are taking Ethan home and he will be on liquids. They are scheduled to meet or talk with a transplant specialist from Cincinnati Children's early next week. Heidi, I have shared with them our connection to Cincy, so do not be surprised if I pass along your number should they need help getting around up there. They are a sweet young couple and Christie and I wish them them best. I am sure we will keep in touch with them as Ethan and Zander have become "kings of Pod 4", not to mention fast friends.
I will write again tomorrow. Christie and I hope everyone has a restful night and a great Thursday. Thanks, as always for the prayers, thought and encouraging words.
Good night Huey, Jackson, Zander and Ethan. All of you are loved and our prayers and thoughts and the prayers and thoughts of many are with each of you. May each of your dreams be big. Rest easy Ethan and Zman...keep moving along. We love all of you.

Sweet dreams Zander, Granpa Bill and Grandma Sandy loves.
We are happy to be of any assistance that we can to the ZMan's bro/roomie, Ethan and his family. You all remain close in our thoughts and prayers with each passing day.
Much love,
Aunt Heidi and family
Zander looks wonderful again today. I know God has His hand on him. No doubt surgery will go great. We have Mighty hands in control of it all. Glad school is going well for Jackson and Huey. Christie keep on gradeing those papers...you are just biding time to when Zman comes home. Clancy your updates are awesome. I know it takes time but we all thank you. Have a great Thurs.
Love and prayers,
Christy
Hey guys! Glad Zman is doing well. Good to hear they are going to get that surgery out of the way. We kinda had a set back today with going home with Ethan. Our WONDERFUL insurance is giving us trouble!!!! It looks like it will be the middle of next week before we get to go home b/c of the holiday weekend. We are praying for Zander and thinking about him as he goes through his surgery. We look forward to meeting Heidi in the near future. We hope to hear something from them soon. We'll see you tomorrow or over the weekend I'm sure. Talk to you guys soon! Zander keep up the good work!
