A Huge Thank You and Update!

[@Bruuski]

My college friend dove into a pool at 14. We are in our late 50s now. She graduated college, taught school, married, had a child, raised 5 children all together. The body is just the vessel for our soul.

[@finneasboobahthethird]

Wow, love that last sentence

[@dianeelaine]

You are SO HANDSOME! And on top of that, you have a beautiful heart. I definitely want to see more cooking videos!!! Thanks for sharing your life with us.

[@jillibeens57]

Hi Zack! I have a 23 yr old daughter with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy. Your morning routine in your other video is almost spot on with ours and as I watch your mother, I see we do the same things in regards to transfers! I want to thank you very much for showing how you use your phone. My daughter uses an iPad and I never thought of using a clamp setup. It's genius! Your video just made my daughter's life a bit more accessible! Thank you for your inspiration!

[@jimmypeters6457]

You have a second chance! Praise The Lord daily and he will be with you!!!

[@0717Ally]

He’s so handsome and so so so strong. It’s pretty amazing to see him do the things he does. Being able to step by step be independent in his own way is pretty amazing. He’s all smiles and it’s super inspiring. Keep doing you Zack. I’m 110% behind you.

[@honeybuzzard2843]

WE GOT YOU BABY... Make the Vids...we'll watch it...What really struck a chord with me, when your Beautiful Mother saw you after the accident and YOU SMILED...If Zack can smile...I can be O.K. And your Dad..same with your Dad. Your Attitude & Spirit GOT ME.... Congrats on your Graduation...have fun on your trip.. YOU A BOSS..... GO GET IT ...YOU CAN DO ANYTHING.... YOU SAVAGE....LOL

[@elisabethdrake1171]

You're awesome Zack! My son sustained the same level of injury when he was 18 from a motorcycle accident in 2008. Ethan was married two years ago and they had their first child two weeks ago. May the Lord continue to bless you and your wonderful family. I have no doubt you will be an amazing husband and father yourself one day. Thank you for educating and helping others.. ♡

[@toasted_.coconut]

It takes guts to show yourself at such a vulnerable moment, but what you did is important. We only grow as adults when we see or experience a world outside our own. So, thank you.

[@Ashley1212]

You are so brave and so fantastic! Your smile is radiant and your positive energy is inspiring.

[@teekay9553]

You're really brave and very inspiring.......thank you for posting videos that show many positives and possibilities for people living with spinal cord injuries. You're incredibly fortunate to have such a loving supportive circle of family and friends! Wishing all the best for you as you go back to school soon and keep us posted how your career planning goes! New sub here also........thanks again for allowing us into your life Zack! Best to you always !

[@Sweetforthesoul]

I'm so happy that someone like you is spreading awareness about spinal cord injuries. I'm a nurse at a rehab clinic so I've had a few patients with those injuries (one as high as C1, which was a complete injury). And I think it's something that people truly are interested in and want to know "how does that work?" etc. It's fun for me to see the routines you do at home, since I've only seen patients in hospital when they're just figuring things out. Great job!

[@rubybluedmc4074]

Congratulations on your college graduation! Thank you for being open and raising awareness for the behind the scenes of the daily routines of these types of injuries. Enjoy Hawaii!

[@TheLaurels5210]

You are an inspiration Zack! I cried watching your mom's love for you! How blessed you are.. I am a retired therapist, working eight last year's caring for a c-5, c-7 quad! Itook care of her bowel, Cath, physical therapy and we had an amazing time together. That time forever changed my life and her life! The woman I cared for wrote a book called Passing Through the Fire by Nazrin Z. Available on Amazon! She became an artist as well. You can look up her paintings, testimonies and interviews too! Love from Canton Georgia, Lauren☺

[@paulabrown-smith3290]

I just seen one of your videos and found myself watching all your posts. Let me say, your courage and determination through all this was inspiring. Your outlook on life and accepting your challenges are amazing. I think others would have given up but you chose to climb over these obstacles and the support your mom have given you shows not only her love but a mothers love to always care for her child. 18 is not the magic number because your child will always be your child. I truly wish the very best for you.. Blessings to your mother.

[@popjazzy89]

Ive loved watching your videos. My brother also had an accident and became a quadriplegic (well he’s my best best friend so he is family) when he was sledding downhill head first and hit a tree and was internally decapitated. This January will be 15 years! We just went off-roading the other day and he broke his hand controls so I had to drive his giant truck home. I digress lmao. But you and him have similar mind sets. So driven and determined to keep the sun shinning no matter how many clouds try to block your rays! Keep being awesome Zack!!!!!!
