I am so sad!!!! Zachary’s facebook page got delated !! We lost over 7,000 fans !! Please pass on his facebook so we can find a HERO! I started a new face book under the same name  ”Save Zachary Elsenpeter”

To all new comers …

Zachary is a 6 yr old little boy that has touched many lives…

Zachary has had over 30 surgeries, Multiple complications and Countless hospital stays through out his 6 yrs of life. When he was 11 months old His Daddy saved his life by donating one of his kidneys to him. Zachary went into Acute, Chronic and Antibody rejection September of 2009.. The Rejection was stopped, but his Kidney was to damaged to repair. Zachary had 7 treatments of Plasmapheresis , IVIG and high Dose Steroids. .. This was very very hard on him and he fought very hard…

Zachary developed very high class 2 antibodies leaving less then a 1% chance of finding a match.. There have been over 600 AMAZING people tested and still no match.. We have done News story , News paper articles and he has over 7,000 fans on Facebook. Right now testing is on hold until his antibodies come down  some more and he is infection free from his Abscess that was missed for many months ….If you want to know more about his abscess please read his up dates from the last 8 months.

Zachary is stable and doing great! Testing is on hold  for right now…I will let everybody know when we start testing for a HERO!

Overall, Zachary is AMAZING !! He has beating the Odds and proven everybody wrong ! He is here for a reason and has touched not just my life but many others.

Zachary has not been feeling the greatest today..Very tired , Dark circles under his eye’s, Restless and his Urine came test came back a little funky.. I am not sure what is going on? I am a little worried. I also fear that his abscess might be coming back..

Wade and I have been going back in forth about bring him in… He has no fever. “Which is good” The plan I think is to wait and see what he is doing tomorrow..

Tomorrow Zachary is suppose to start camp..Well, we are not sure if we are sending him. I ‘ll have to see how he is in the morning..

This weekend was a busy weekend so I hope he is just wiped.

Tomorrow I pray for a better day so he is able to go to his 1st day camp!!

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayer

Labs are STABLE !! Zachary is doing AMAZING !! He has way to much ENERGY!! Always running and smiling None stop! I am still waiting for his urine to come back..I should get those results tomorrow.

His Blood Pressures are still high the 130/90′s ! and his blood sugars have been a little on the low side..We are just keeping a close eye on them.

Overall, He is AMAZING and it’s hard to keep up with him now! “Even in Kidney failure”… I am scared when he gets a new kidney how much energy he will have.

But when he does it will be a BIG Celebration!

Thank you all for your thoughts and Prayers

Sorry for not updating…

Zachary is still doing and looking great!!

Yeasterday we went to Elko Speedway Race track !! What a fun day !! Thank you HOPEKIDS !!

Zachary got to race in a quarter Midget race car !! He did AWESOME until he tried to stop ! Well, He didn’t stop and ran one of the pit crew helpers over. Everybody was OK ! Just a little shakened up. Then we watched the Car races !! WOW ! VERY AWESOME!! I can’t wait for another race !!

UPDATE ON labs… Well they are NOT great… His creatinine and BUN took a jump … Not good. They  did a urine and his urine creatinine/protein ration came back very high 3.86 !! NOT GOOD either..

We still don’t have a plan..I am still waiting for the DR to call back.

Overall, he is having a blast living life !!

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers ,
