Here is an update from Debbie, Zach’s mom:

Zach was moved from ICU to the Rehab unit at St. John’s and has begun his hard work of getting ready to come home before Christmas.  He has very busy mornings and afternoons with his therapy schedules, but is able to have visitors from 3:30 - 9:00 pm.  Our entire family has been so greatly touched by everyone’s prayers,love, kind gestures, offers of help, visits, meals, and other acts of love and kindness.  Please keep Zach in your prayers as this is going to be a very challenging time for him.  We believe everyone’s prayers and positive thoughts have been how Zach has done so well to this point, and prayers and faith will continue to make everyday better.   Thank you again everyone, we are so grateful.  Much love, Steve, Debbie, Zach, & Micah

Here is an update from Zach’s mother, Debbie:

Zach is still in the intensive care unit, however, he was taken of off the ventilator again yesterday and his lungs seem to be working much better.  Zach is alert and communicating.  We hope to get moved to the rehabilitation unit later today or early tomorrow to begin the next phase of our long journey.  Zach knows he has a lot of hard work ahead of him but that with God’s love and the support and love of family and friends he will be strong.  We have been so touched by the outpouring of love and support, words can not express our gratitude to everyone.  We are truly blessed.
