An Update On My Brother

So many of you know that my little brother Zachary has leukemia.  It’s been a while since I’ve talked about him so I wanted to give you all an update on what’s going on.  This Thursday Zachary is going into the maintenance period for the next three years.  These past few months have been pretty rough at times with steroids, different chemo treatments, mood swings, low blood counts, etc. etc., but he’s done very well.  God has blessed Zachary with two of the greatest and strongest believeing Christians on the face of the earth!  My dad and step-mom Rhonda have handled this situation so well!  They have taken any opportunity they can to glorify God through the entire experience.  It’s sad to think such a sweet little boy has to go through something so bad, but God has a plan for it (it’s just sometimes hard to swallow).  I was able to spend a lot of time with him this past week and I have a few pictures to show you how he’s been. Thankfully his beautiful hair will be growing back any day now, but I think he looks pretty cool even without it!  My dad has been going through a Catechism for children and has been asking him questions about God.  It’s so funny to hear Zachary say man’s chief end is to glorify God!  He’s even been talking to Him in his bed when he goes to sleep at night.  My dad and Rhonda listen to him talking through the baby monitor.  One of the things that cracked us up was when he said, “God I have 5 questions…but I’m really tired so I’ll ask you tomorrow.”

He got to wear the helicopter helmet!
