Zach's Montage
Help Zachary      Zach needs a new kidney!!!
Feb 18, 2005

Zachary’s energy level is getting amazing! He is all over the place. Two days ago physical therapy was here. Today, he is climbing up on the furniture. Zachary’s mickey button keeps popping out. This is the button on his tummy to attach his feeding tube. It has a balloon that goes into his tummy, then is inflated with water. We are working on doing bowless feeds every hour. We inject the formula straight in, and then he can be disconnected from his pump. A nutritionist is coming out tomorrow with a more concentrated formula, which is easy to digest. He is dragging his bag everywhere and every two minutes it goes off and has to be re-ran. Kiley is continuing to struggle with all of his attention and new success. A specialist from the school district came out to work with her again. We are having her come once a week and are trying to get more help to get her through these times of transition. She is such a smart and sweet girl, but is still having trouble with everything going on. Stacey and I have discovered mold in the downstairs bathroom. We are having a mold specialist come check it out. We can’t really afford any respiratory problems. Never a dull moment !
