****ZAYE UPDATE****
I've been planning on doing an update for a couple of weeks now, but I wanted to wait to celebrate Zaye's birthday. Her mom and I had been planning on giving her a party at home because her birthday was going to follow the intense therapy that was scheduled for her. Unfortunately Zaye had another set back while she was in rehab and she was taken to the emergency room Monday night. An MRI and CAT scan revealed a small mass at the base of her brain and she was readmitted to the hospital on Tuesday. I came to Houston yesterday to spend her birthday with her. She was given a party by the very nice group of occupational therapists in charge of her rehabilitation.
This 2nd setback has been a real blow to everyone, but especially Zaye. Her spirits are down and she's very depressed. I am doing everything I can to stay encouraged and to keep her mom encouraged. Her doctors started her on steroids to keep her organs strong and she will probably start a 3rd round of the plasma transfusions to get back on the road to recovery. She is still breathing on her own and talking, but she's having bouts of confusion. Please continue to keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers.
I just want to thank everyone that's left messages of hope and prayers for recovery on the original journal post. You guys are so awesome. And everyone that's written fan-fiction and made fan art for Zaye, you guys rock. I've printed everything out for her, including all of the comments and started a binder for her. I brought it with me and will continue to update it so anyone wanting to leave additional thoughts/prayers for Zaye, please continue to do so here: tracgyrl.livejournal.com/10847.html and I will make sure they get added to her binder.
