Help Zachary      Zach needs a new kidney!!!
Jun 09, 2005

I will start by telling you Zachary has been walking for almost 2 weeks now!
The butt scooting was alright, but he knows he can cover a lot more area now by walking around. He is still being feed by his G-tube and is trying to eat by mouth. He is not interested in baby food, but is willing to try everything else. Zachary is looking good, although his lab work is not.

Today, he is going to have surgery, or I should say tonight. He has an infection and they are going to remove a stent that is placed in his kidney. They are going to replace it and put him on IV antibiotics. In a couple days it will be replaced and hopefully he will be able to go home.

Hi Wade:

Glad to hear Zach is starting to walk although the scoot was pretty amusing. We’ll keep him in our prayers that the infection goes away and the surgery is succesfull.
