Zach,
We know you are in the best of hands. Dr. Fox performed Ross' surgery when he was 2 and Ross is now 7 and doing better than ever. We have prayed and will continue to pray. The scar is a real chick magnet that you will appreciate when you get older.
No luck needed because God's plan is perfect.

Zack, we love you and pray God's blessing of protection and healing upon you Wednesday and every day that follows. God is faithful and His grace is sufficient for you in all things.
We'll see you Thursday (and bring you a surprise).

Hi Zack,
I work with your Mom and have two boys just about your age. They love knock knock jokes too and think your new ones are terrific!
We'll be thinking about you today and wishing you a quick trip back to bike riding and basketball.

Zack, I can't wait to see you later on in the month. We'll do some special things together like sharing art, learning about bird calls and maybe even having Christmas in July!
Much love,

Zack - I have been in San Francisco on vacation. Several times during July 8, 9 & 10, during our busy days, we stopped to remember our dear friend and lift you and your family up in prayer. I am so glad you are getting better! I have a knock knock joke for you:
Knock Knock ....
Who's there?
Cow,
Cow who?
No, No, No, cows moo silly, owls who!
Love you!

Hi Zackie, Aunt Poo Boo here. I'm so happy you're doing so well--I knew you would. Wish you could come to Arkansas; Uncle Billy has some great big watermelons in the garden needing to be picked. I love you Zackie.
