Zachary was born at 27 weeks with ho heartbeat and not breathing. But he fought through it. After birth, he continued to battle complication after complication. He had two significant strokes at before he was 2 months old but once again fought through it. He was discharged into medical foster care at the age of 3 months. He was cared for by a wonderful family and was adopted as a toddler. Zachary walks with crutches or a walker, but doesn't let anything slow him down! He can swim the length of a small pool and just learned to swim down to the bottom of the shallow end to retrieve an object. He is smart as a whip and so, so funny.
