an icon of my early teen years has passed away. Patrick Swayze died at 57 years young...after a 20 month battle with cancer. remembering those touching scenes in Ghost, its very disheartning. back in 2005 i was lucky and blessed enough to meet him, and his beautiful wife Lisa. They both came to fort hood to do a small meet and greet thing and promote the movie, One Last Dance, i sit staring at this picture of them both from the movie, with the signatures, sad to say, i have yet to see the movie...and yet the title has such a new meaning now. i hope that all of Patrick and Lisa's dances were with as much Grace, Love, and Faith that they appeared to be. its yet another reminder to Dance your best Dance....we cant control when our last dance will come. ....God Bless Patrick Swayze and his wife Lisa Niemi.
Zach had a pulmonology appointment today, i was actually fearing that we may be sending zach into the hospital for a short time, his poor chest is rattley, stuffy nose, requiring more o2, crabbier, coughing and just gunky sounding. Praise God when we got there, instead of sending us off to the PICU the doc was pleased to see that even though he is sick, he is dealing well with it! i guess this is a sign that Zach is indeed growing stronger. i have also come to the conculsion that it wont matter how strong he grows, any fever, any cough and i will instantly fear for him respitory wise. so in the end zach came home with more oral steriods and xopenex breathing treatments to get him "over this hill" and had a cheerful afternoon. tomorrow zach will see neurology, this appointment has me on pins and needles, more so i guess with just the hopes of having some sort of answer, i want to know what areas of the brain are affected with the atrophy, i want to know if the neuro predicts that zach will talk, walk....I KNOW he WILL do this and more so i guess it shouldnt matter so much to hear it, but it does. i think i can handle any answer...because i KNOW zach, and i know he wont let anything hold him back....but i dont think i can handle going in and the doc skating around the questions again...
ill update more after the appointment:)
