It is fatal.
David Grey sings to me today…
'Now the flood gates cannot hold
all my sorrow all my rage
tear drops fall from every page.
Meet me on the other side.'
Yesterday Zachary was tested for 7 skin irritations that he had on his skin. When Dr. Vose reported them today she said that he had a fungus in his blood that will travel to all of his organs.
It is fatal. They do not expect him to live to the end of May.
They are doing everything possible to make him comfortable. He is still unconscious and will likely remain in that state.
When I walked from my car to the kitchen I passed 8 pictures that Zachary is in.
I cannot even imagine life without him.
Funny how he never found a vocation that he felt right with. And yet he led us. He found us. He showed us the way. I can only hope that in my 'vocation' that I help a fraction of the people he has helped.
In his need to help others, he has lifted us all up farther than I could have imagined being lifted.
Of course I will keep you updated as his journey unfolds. PLEASE do NOT call Dara. Her plate is more than full right now.
All my love,
Ann

Zach's Wish
There was no question in Zachary’s mind that his purpose in life was to be used as a tool, as an instrument for good. Even as things were really becoming dire he never forgot that his life was about expenditure. His desire never waned—I want to help others.
