Hello Roloffs,

My name is Lisa and i live in Ontario Canada. I'm a huge fan of the show and never miss it. I have a shunt just like Zach in the same exact place. I watched the episode when zach had his shunt surgery and it brought back alot of memories because my surgery was around the same time as zach's. I've had 8 surgeries since birh and also had a tumor on the shunt with my last surgery. This time was tough because i spent a month in the hospital because my shunt was infected. I was also born with mild cerebral palsy and because of that, i walk with a slight limp and it stunted my growth. I'm dont have any type of dwarfism, but i'm short being only 4'9''. I can truely relate to zach and know exactly what he went through with his shunt surgeries and i give him so much praise for being able to get through it. Take care and i'll be sure to keep watching your show. Its awesome.

Love a big fan,

Lisa

Hi Littlelisa1979, I may not completely understand what you have been going through but definitely I'm sure you have that terrific sense of "fighting spirit". Keep watching and keep yourself happy.
