Help Zachary      Zach needs a new kidney!!!
Dec 10, 2004

Good News! Zachary is out of ICU and into his old room. He is doing much better and his system is functioning again like it is supposed to! He was able to go for his wagon ride which he seems to enjoy. The doctor says everything looks good and the stint will still be staying in for two weeks and then the catheter should come out 3-4 days after that.

The results came back early on the bioposy of the kidney, and he is not rejecting it. More good news!

Mom and Dad are really drained today, so I don’t have a whole lot of details for tonight. Wade did get somemore good pictures today, but I haven’t learned how to do that and we sent him to bed early. The famous smile hasn’t totally returned, but he was working towards it today.

Please keep the prayers coming as they sure are working, he is a tough little cookie, but only with your help.

Grandma E. I can’t believe you were up at 2:40 am posting after the grueling evening of phone calls mixed with auction pricing. What a toughy! I’m so glad things were looking brighter for Zach today. Whiz
