July 19th

Zack went on his first outing today! Zack, his brother Levi, and another patient and friend of Zack's named Nick all went to the movies! One of his occupational therapists took them. Last week Zack hesitantly tried out a power wheelchair and had it mastered in about 3 minutes! He's now "zippin" around the entire hospital grounds. He's got some independence. The nurses have to come looking for him but encourage Zack to get out. You won't find him in his room now. He's still smiling and enjoys visitors, but be careful - he may run you over!
Love,
Amber
