Hello all, it is nap time again so I can update. IT seems the weeks are flying. We are preparing for Kyle's party and Zac's balloon release. I have read different books about Heaven. I am wondering if Zac would still be almost four or if he would be turning 6 with Kyle. I continue to think of him at the age he was(although he always acted older). But different things I read make you wonder at times.
We decided the summer was just too boring and needed some excitement. How about rabbies shots!! Yeah!! Boo!!! I got a call yesterday while I was preparing our foster child to leave for visitation. Heather was at a friends house a few days ago. I was unawared that her friends family had baby raccoons. Appartently the girls handled them. Two out of three of the raccoons tested positive for rabbies. This was the first I had even heard of the raccoons and was completely unaware that she had even held one. So last night we spent 3 hours in the ER waiting to get shots. She received five of them last night and will need to have  shots 4 more times this month.  This weekend will be more and the others will be more spaced out over the month. Heather has a phobia to needles, but she did a great job and was a trooper. Although she  muttered I hate raccoons a few times. So I doubt she will ever want to check them out again. It is best to leave these animals in the woods and not to touch them. While people think they are helping them they are still wild animals and obviously these ones were orphaned because the mom had rabbies. One of those lessons learned the hard way. While Heather was not bit, it is still advised she take the precautions due to the salavia from the animals or possible scratches from handling them. While there are the shots for rabbies, if left untreated it can be fatal. So it is nothing to second guess about. Luckily she cannot transmitt it to anyone else so that is good.
Kyle is doing well. He read a book all by himself this morning to the babies! He just finished Kindergarten and he looks so grown up holding the book up and reading to the other kids. OUr foster baby is doing well and had a good visit with his mom yesterday. His court date will be next week. Always nerve wracking but we are leaving it in God's hands to decide what is best for him.
I did post new photos on the memory chest site, these are of Caleb's and of Landen's chests. www.zacsmemorychests.com  We are currently awaiting photos but Ed has several started. The photos seem the hardest for so many families to pick. Each photo brings back such strong memories. We miss our Zac so much and know that these families are traveling such a tough road. While it is hard to be without them now, each of us knows that we will be reunited one day. IT is just a hard wait, I envision Zac healthy and running and playing like he couldn't do for such a long time. He deserved so much more than his life here on earth.
Special prayers to all the hospital familes, Ila, Sheldon, Grace, Sarah, Will, Brendan, Kassidy, Ethan, JJ and many more.
Hoping the rain will stop soon so we can enjoy the summer and get some projects done around the house!!
Sending Kisses to heaven Zac Man!!XXOO We LOVE you so!
