One yr ago today I flew to Guat to take custody of Zack from his fostermom, the next day I had a meeting at PGN to see if I could get his file released. God had blessed us, as I walked out with our file. Let's not talk about RENAP ughhh LOL
Zack and I spent a few months in Guat finishing up his case with the help of Mayra and Marco(Agency and Facilitator worthless and useless). During that time he and I got to bond before coming home.
I can not believe it has been one yr since that day. He has grown so much and come so far, He has such a toddler look to him now. WHERE IS MY BABY????? LOL
Zackie mommy LOVES you so much, and I would go to the end of the earth for you baby boy!!

Just an update
Well where do I start?
We took Zack to his Endo on Tues to have his GH test done, we showed up about 15 minutes early and some of the nurses in the clinic at Cardinal Glennon came out to see him and commented on how much he has grown.
Finally we get called back and Sherie started telling us what we was going to be doing. We start with the right arm first for the IV, and within minutes the vein blew. About 10 minutes later after we calmed Zack down we attempted his left arm, wouldn't ya know it...... it blew also... He is so little that his veins are very small. I remember trying to have blood drawn for his other test and his veins would collapse. So now we just wait..... they are going to try to submit this to Insurance without the test based on his Medical Diagnosis and see if it goes through.
Putting him on GH would not only help him grow BUT it has other benefits as well..... it will help with muscle growth and his developments in other areas as well.
Now on to his food..... whewwwwwwww
I have not bought baby food in almost 3 weeks, we are really trying to get him off it. We are TRYING to feed him table food and sometime he is really having NO part of this. But for the most part he is doing really well. I found some sweet potato casserole in a can and he loves it with cinn, brn sugar and butter mixed with it.
His nutritionist was here yesterday and we are talking about taking him off formula finally....I am already mixing his formula 1/2 and 1/2 with whole milk. So this should make things go smoother.
She also is switching him from poly~vi~sol to Flintstones ...YEAH!!
Zack is also doing really well with his legs braces(splints)it gives him better control over his foot and ankle movements. I think it makes him more stable. With these he can actually bear weight on his legs and feet... WOOHOO!!
It also helps keep his feet in the right position, instead of him curling his feet in and toes under.
In 4 days on the 20th it will be the 1 yr Anniversary of Zack and myself being together forever. This is when I moved to Guat to care for him and finish the case myself with the help of Mayra. I really can't believe we have been together for 1 yr!!?? Where has that time went??
Our family forever day is not till Sept. as that is when we was actually ALL 3 together forever.
I will try to get some new pics together over the next few days and post some new ones. I think I am behind LOL

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!
Well it's the 4th already, and it is raining and uckky here... I was really hoping for some sun today so Zack could play in the pool, as he loves water.
Last night we was giving him his bath and when it came time to get out he through a fit!!! So I put some more warm water in as it was getting a bit cool...
I have been on vacation all week with has been GREAT!! But Monday it's time to go back to work...As some of you know i have been trying to go just P/T and I have finally been able to do that. I will only be working 2-3 days a week. So this is going to give me a ton more time with Zack...YAYY!!! I did have to step down from being General Manger to do this and it is a HUGE pay cut... BUT so worth it to me.
The only bad thing is I will never know what days I am working now... acckkkk
but you have to take the bad with the good... right?? LOL
