The site has finally been updated with some new hospital photos, thanks for your patience and please check them out.
Today Zach is having a pretty good day. His urine output is very good. Although, today marks day four of having diarrhea. He is not tolerating his feeds and they are discussing feeds via TPN. This would mean using his Hickman(central line) located in his chest to deliver the nutrients he needs. They did the stint study this morning to determine if it can be removed from his bladder and results were positive. They have scheduled removal of the stint tomorrow morning.
His temps have been staying steady and he is still tolerating the anti-rejection drug.
The wagon ride has become part of his daily ritual and he really enjoys the trips. His ride took him over to the play area where his sister Kiley was coloring pictures for his room!
Stacey and Wade attended those classes today and learned about caring for his central line (for convenient blood draws) and the dialysis catheter (this is just for precautionary purposes if he would need to be dialyzed) which are in his upper left chest area.
Hopefully I can report tomorrow that those big famous smiles are back!
Gma E & Wade
