Accident Prone Zachary James

I have just discovered blogs and am eager to keep an updated blog for my little boy Zachary James.

Zachary was born 2 June 2004 at Liverpool Public Hospital. In his two short years he has had a few illnesses and managed to injure himself a number of times! On 14th April 2005 Zachary managed to get the chicken pox. He was very well behaved and didn't scratch. I was basically bathing him 3 times a day in Pintarsol to stop the itching and putting healing gel on his face. End result no scars!

On 4th February 2006 Zachary had the top of his left ring finger amputated. He managed to get it caught in the door of a gun safe in a shop. Surgery later that night to reattach but unfortunately it died off. A small amount of skin grew back and he is now coping remarkably well.


That brings us to 12th May 2006 when Zachary tripped at daycare and managed to fracture his foot. His big toe but halfway up his foot. 4 weeks in a back slab cast did the trick. He was running around on the cast after just week!


Well that gives you a small insight into our lives with accident prone Zachary James!
