Posted by zack

It’s 6:57pm according to my husband’s computer and I am currently waiting for him to call me so that I can go pick him up at the hospital. He’s there right now, in the waiting room of the ICU, where his father, Martin, is fighting for his life.

I have commandeered Zack’s blog in order to let all of you know what’s going on and to ask for your prayers, for those of you who pray, that Martin would pull through this. Zack is doing his best to be hopeful, as are all of us, but his spirits are understandably low and he’s feeling overwhelmed and so if you think to pray for him, too, that would be amazing. He could use them.

Tuesday night, December 30th, we received a call from Elaine, Zack’s step-mom, that Martin was in the ER and that they were working to save his life. He had almost gone into cardiac arrest. The ER doctors told Elaine that had she gotten Martin there a minute later he most certainly would have died. Martin has COPD ( or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease ) which is a progressive disease that narrows the airways to the lungs and makes it harder and harder to breathe. It is a disease typically brought on from smoking, which Martin did, for 47 years. For as long as I’ve known him he’s had to carry around an oxygen tank. Other than that he’s strong as an ox, quick witted, and most definitely not a frail old dude at all. ;-) He had caught pneumonia and was having a hard time breathing the day of the 30th and by the time he and Elaine got a little bag packed and headed to his hospital he could hardly breathe at all. When Elaine pulled up to the ER he had stopped breathing entirely and had passed out. Right now he’s completely intubated ( on a ventilator and feeding tube in addition to a “port” into his heart where all meds can be injected into his bloodstream without the need for a lot of IV’s) and heavily sedated. He’s been given ridiculously strong antibiotics to knock out the pneumonia but is now unable to breathe on his own. Every time the attempt has been made to lower Martin’s need for the ventilator his Co2 levels spike rapidly and the oxygen has to be brought back up. The worry is that his lungs have reached their capacity to be able to function on their own, thus rendering Martin with the need for A. a lung transplant (which is highly unlikely since he’s 78) or B. Having to remain intubated and sedated. It’s frustrating because, like I said, he’s healthy in every other way.

I have to go get Zack from the hospital here in a bit. He doesn’t know I’m doing this. I just know that he’s in a fog right now and all the things he’d normally be doing he’s not and this year had started off a lot differently than we had originally planned. Just know that we are, and have been, working on getting the new OneLight workshop dates set in place ( things are going to be a little…well…a LOT different. In a very awesome way… ), new sites launched, new shoots to work on, studio parties, art gallery showings at the studio, travel, a new baby, etc. So hang in there while we manage this crazy roller-coaster we’re on. We appreciate everyone so much.

I hope this finds all of you well and in lovely spirits with a pocket of peace you can dive into.

Meg

P.S. For anyone who’s ordered a OneLight DVD in the past couple of weeks have no fear! We haven’t forgotten! I am personally going to make sure that is taken care of tomorrow. Also Zack’s brother, Chris, sent out a lovely email that I posted on my blog if you’d like to read it.

Meg,
Please pass on to Zack that I prayed for his dad (my name is Martin, too) which I am sure shocked God to no end. HE does not often hear from me. Give him my best wishes and you guys focus on your family and the business will be okay while you tend to what is really important.

Meg, Thank you for sharing this with us so that we can all be keeping Zack, Martin, and the whole family in our thoughts and prayers. Zack’s wonderful post from last fall when his stepdad passed away has radically changed the way I look at my portrait work, both from a commercial and personal perspective. You will all be in my prayers in the coming days.

I know how stressfull this can be because at exactly this time last year my own father (80yrs old) was taken ill with pneumonia as well and waw sedated and on one of those horrible ventilator machines. We were told to expect the worst due to his age. It was extremely distressing. However, he pulled through. One day after a week or two he suddenly started to get better. After a month he was allowed out. I’ll send all my positive thoughts in your direction and hope to hear good news.

ed wiget, on January 15th, 2009 at 12:03 am Said:

Hope everything is better. I know how hard this can be.

Last October my father went to the hospital for outpatient surgery, a minor thing. He had a heart attack before he had the surgery. They thought it was minor and everything would be o.k. I didn’t get to be with him until the night before he passed away, 4 days after his heart attack. He never awoke after having bypass heart surgery. I told him everything would be all right and he passed away 4 hours later on my birthday.

However sad this story seems, it made me realize that we have to slow down in life and cherish the things that mean the most to us. I had been so busy this year, I hadn’t seen my father much at all.

Zack & Meg, This is my first time posting on your site.
I pray that the Lord will give you guidance in this difficult time and I believe that He is protecting your father in His own special way. Just remember the words “Thy will be done, not mine Lord”. Sometimes it’s hard for us to understand life and death but the comfort of it all comes when we COMPLETELY place everything in God’s hands and trust his Will. I lost my grandmother 2 days ago and it is tough….. definitely, but at the same time I have confidence that she is sitting with the Lord, most importantly………… without any pain. And that is truly what heals my heart.

God has given you great talent and I as well as others here are very blessed that you are always willing to share and teach us the things you do.

Dear Meg and Zack,

I stumble upon Zack’s website looking for some tutorials for off camera flash. Little did I know that I will find a more human side compared to many blogs I’ve visited. The passion and love you feel for your husband during these difficult times is evident. I’m not religious by any means, but I have prayed for you, Zack and his dad. I’m humbled by the amount of work and dedication Zack has accomplished to get his family ahead during his second try at photography. He’s truly an inspirational figure and you two are very fortunate to have each other. Not to mention the hundreds of friends who have posted their support.

Hang in there!

With Kind Regards,

Manuel Martinez

Zack and Meg, it’s been a bit since I checked your blog and missed this. I found your site from someone on istockphoto.com praising your white background tutorials, and I’ve been a fan since.

Zach, your father is in my prayers, and I hope he is doing better. Your father sounds like my father – who died of lung cancer, from 50 years of smoking (he quit 5 years before he died) and asbestosis he acquired while in the Navy in his late teens. the hardest part for me was watching him suffer from debilitating strokes due to lack of oxygen, since he was my hero and my rock (other than Christ and my wife.)

Stay strong, God is good! I’ll keep praying for your family and Martin’s health. Hope to meet you guys at a OneLight workshop soon.

Awesome video dude. My thoughts and prayers for you and your family in these trying times.

The video really reflects how I feel some days.

Thank you very much!

Sorry for the double post. I had you opened in two different tabs and posted to the wrong page.

My thoughts and prayers are still with you and your family in these trying times.
