Christopher is in the first grade. Zack was first hospitalized in early August at John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek with flu-like symptoms, including lethargy and failure to urinate. It is the most life-threatening stage because the cancer must be shrunken before it can be removed. A port was placed into Zack's chest and chemotherapy was begun at UCSF with hopes of continuing the chemo closer to home at John Muir, but Zack began bleeding internally after the initial treatment. Money sent to this fund covered medical and incidental expenses, and continues to defray the cost of Zack's memorial and funeral, held September 1, 2000.
