The testing continues...

Good morning guys...Zachary and I are still here in Houston at TCH, it is now Wednesday, and the testing continues. So far, nothing traumatic to report yet; but we continue to wait for him to give them what they need in this so he can be released early. Like the doctors say, most children do not give them what they need during their stay because of the new environment and all of the attention; but that doesn't mean this is not happening, it's just because it's a new place and new people.


Zachary received his last and final dose of Tegretol this morning and will not receive another one until the moment he is discharged from TCH to go home. The reason is logical....the doctors want to see this violent rage and seizure activity while he is here so they know what to do for him in this matter and to make sure he is treated properly. In which I completely agree with this reasoning. I do feel Zachary will give them what they want before he is discharged...it's a matter of time when this happens...we just have to be patient and wait...that's the hardest thing because we don't know when this may strike.



Until Friday, we are living here in this room on the tenth floor and being taken care of extremely well by all the personnel. My aunt, who lives near by, has been stopping by to make sure we have everything we need while we are here and making our stay comfortable as possible. There are plenty of drinks and snacks for Zachary and I to get us by until we get a chance to have meals. Radio Lollipop comes by to bring Zachary arts and crafts to do on a daily basis. Yesterday he won the contest by completing a shield with his initials and the Paul Stanley star. Zachary received a monkey beanie baby by the name of "Cheeks" as his prize. Today, there will be another contest and maybe another prize. All the people here are very friendly and making Zachary's time here as peaceful as possible just like at home. The only thing different, he cannot leave the room because he is plugged in; but can walk freely around the room. Other than wanting to be unplugged, he is content. The tests will tell us soon what is going on and so will his actions later during the night and day.


More to report later...
