Did you get the note my wife left you today? She came up for a visit (i kept the kids) but she missed you and Zach was sleeping. She left a litte not with the nurses. The good part with missing you is that now she gets to come back later and catch you again!

Hey Rusted, those cookies were great! Thx!
Also, Marni, thanks for all the cool stuff as well.. Awesome!
Update:
Well, as I tried to be VERY nice, I had it out wit a Nurse @ 6:30 this morning.l Long story short, The nurse was the same one from yesterday, she rubbed me and my parents the wrong way, tellin me I couldn't do this, and I couldn't leave ect... Yesterday, I blew it off, ignored her.... Until this morning. I woke up early purposely to take a shower (6:30 am) I asked the tech, if she was going to vitals on Zach, she said yes, so I then asked her if while she was doing vitals I could take a shower, she said, sure, no problem. So I proceeded to head outta the room and go to the shower here at the hospital, as I was leaving my room the nurse said to the tech, YOU CAN'T WATCH HIM, and then she looked at me and said, YOU CAN'T LEAVE, nor can you take a shower. She then said, It's not the nurses's and tech jobs to watch the children when there in the hospital.. Blaa, Blaa.. She said a few other things as well. Unfortunately, I just laid into her, in front of everyone in the hall, I pretty much told her to get well (screwed) however not in a nice way. I then told her someone WILL watch Zach while I shower. Needless to say, I went to the shower, they watched Zach (17mins) and I was still upset, so I decided to talk to the charge nurse, and requested a new nurse, during this the damn nurse came back into our room, appologizing and asking if she could be Zach nurse, that she was sorry.. blaa, blaa.. I told her NO, that I wanted nothing more to do ith her. Then this nurse proceeded to tell me that the hospital staff who arranged the stay for Zach should have explained the policies and proceedures of the BMT UNIT to ne Better... I laughed hysterically at her, and then asked her what the policies ect. were. She DIDN'T know, and I knew this because there isn't any. Basically, the staff here and the parents need to communicate and help one another out. Pretty much standard in any hospital. So, as she was pretty much begging to stay on with Zach, told her to quit groveling, that it wasn't becomming of her. I then started YELLING at her, because she wouldn't leave, after I asked her several time to LEAVE OUR ROOM. She then FINALLY left... Shoot, I just wanted to get dressed before the doctors came around for rounds.
Needless t say, the nurse mgr. came to see me today, the hospitals social worker, and the child life dude... WOW... to my surprise, they were actually doing there jobs today. I love it when people are so dumb that they say ridicioulious things, not having knowledge to back up what they are saying, to me thats an open invite to make them look like the asses they are.
Now, I could have not said anything, but I was fed up with her BS and spoke my mind.
Zach ended up getting LIZ, his favorite nurse today so in my opinion it worked out very well.
Wow, sorry so long.. I CAN'T WAIT TO LEAVE THIS ROOM!!!
Pretty funny drama story huh.. enjoy and laugh.. I did.. However, I made sure this nurse knew she barked up the wrong tree with me.
Have a good night.

Thats really sad! As if your situation isn't already uncomfortable enough, the nurse has to act like that. Good on you for watching out for you and yours.

I am sorry it is such a draining time for you both Amber. I will try to make a trip down to see him. I wish we were closer. I am glad you stand up for him. It is good for kids to see their parents stand up for them occasionally. They know they are safe and your love and loyalty is to them, not anyone/thing else. Kudos.
HEY AMBER!! Well caulen and I were thinking of coming up there to kick it with you and zach for a while, but caulen woke up with a high fever so that kinda put a damper on our day. I promise we will get up to see you next week somtime when I know caulen is healty and enough time to make sure shane and I do catch what he has!
Hell yes I am glad you laid into that nurse. She apparently chooses to ignore the overall picture of her job. What a loser. Give zach a hug from all of us!!

LOL, thinking about yesterday with the dumb nurse... I just laughed my butt off...
Funny, I saw the "naughty word"nurse today, I looked at her and said, Well hello there! She said hi, *really quick and looked down at the floor... I then said, have you contacted the administrative team here at the hospital to see if they have an advocate of communication position open yet? She of course didn't say anything back to me and walked into the supply room!
I like the nerf idea.. thats perfect! (I'll just give it to Zach to shoot at the ones we don't like, they will just think he is playing and being a typical kid! LOL
Amy, no worries on comming over, I hope the cutie is doing better... We'll get together sometime soon! Def. have to plan on taking the kids to the malls around here for a stroll. I'll need you to show me around, cause I get lost easy..
Also, I was thinking about maybe having a fundraising event somewhere here in Idaho for Zachary! Maybe like a swap meet at a church, or a car wash and bake sale or something! If anyone is interested in something like this, lemme know!
And on the bracelets thing, I do have some here, I have alot here... I think I have like 400 left, so if anyone wants to take a flyer and pics of Zach to work, church, school. wherever to help and sell them lemme know and I'll get you some info. and a flyer ect.

I could probably do something on this side of the State. Let me know what you have in mind!
ID Bronce, I'll be in touch with ya soon! Thx!
Update:
Zach's counts are starting to engraft, his ANC is 200 and there are signs of new white cells growing... *YAAAHHHOOOO* I might be able to get out of this miserable place soon!!! However, I have to stay here, and prepare for the next transpplant, which is going to be alot crappier then thin one is/was!
Zach will have to have high chemo. for 6 days, then 3 days, 2 times a day of TBI (Total Body Radiation / Irradiation) and then the transplant, He is going to be miserable... I am trying not to think about that though!
Shane showed up today w/ Dillon and hung out w/ Zach and I. The boys gave each other a hug and then started fighting over there damn cars / toys. (Typical I suppose)
However, Zach fell asleep, and we decided to take a quick break, and Dillon was playing w/ a nurse (this guy looks like George Carlin) in the halls of the ICS Unit. Then all of the sudden, the nurse GROWLED at Dillon and Dillon got scared, so scared he stopped breathing, and had a seisure. Yep... right in the halls here. The nurse felt bad and was unsure of what to do. Shane and I just let Dillon do his thing and when he came to, we held him for a few and walked to the truck so he could take a little snooze. Dillon has done this before, but only if he hits his head sometimes. Never when he was running and playing. It was an oodd thing to see! So, I will be on the phone in the AM to his doctor to get him in for testing AGAIN, just to be safe!
URRGGGG..... These kids are gonna kill me one way or another! LOL
Have fun everyone!

That's great news about Zach! We think about him all the time, it's good to hear that he's kicking ass!
I wish we could come up and meet Shane & Dillon, but our boy just got over his fevers this morning. You definitely don't need us bringing any kind of germs with us.
Thanks for keeping us all updated!

SWEET! I'm sure that feels good.
If you guys want to head to a little league ball game tonight, give us a shout. I think it starts at 5. (exciting stuff, I know
, but that's what we're doing tonight)Nice! A little more freedom for the both of you!! It must feel good to be able to walk out of there wtih Zach. I am sure he is happy to be out of there! So are you guys able to pretty much go anywhere you want now? Or do you still need to protect him from the sniffly kids, and the germs on the shopping cart handles?
