Zachary's 16th through 22nd infusion

I have been doing a terrible job of keeping up with Zachary's blog posts.  Zachary has still been getting weekly infusions (though he missed last week).  He is still choosing to do the infusions in his arms and receives 6 grams in 30mL of fluid.  His infusions at the faster flow rate are taking around 45 minutes to complete, which is awesome.   His next infusion will be next Wednesday.  Here are a couple of pictures from infusions recently.

 

Zachary and his sisters all ended up with Influenza Christmas week.  It kind of squashed our plans for Christmas.  My Mom, sister, brother-in-law and nephew were al supposed to come over on Christmas day, but with the illness, everyone stayed away and we laid low.  We were supposed to go to Iowa the weekend after Christmas and ended up staying home as well.

Christmas Eve.  Sarah was feeling a bit better, Zach was down for the count, and Anna hadn't gotten sick yet.

We started a simple bathroom refresh and it turned into a mess.  All of the kids helped paint a bit though.

Zachary plays the violin (and Joshua plays viola), and they had a winter concert in December.  This is the boys with their orchestra teacher, who is amazing!
