Help Zachary      Zach needs a new kidney!!!
Dec 22, 2006

Zachary turned 3 on Dec 17, it’s hard to believe that he was born 3 years ago. Two weeks after he was born we found out that he had bad kidney’s and would need a transplant. I will never forget that day sitting in a room down at Childrens Hospital, not knowing what was wrong with our baby Zach. I just thought maybe he was still acting like he was born to earlier and just was not ready to endure the struggles that lie ahead of him. If only I knew to prepare our family. The day we found out my heart fell through the ground, I just never thought this could happen to such a little innocent baby. But now I look back at everything that we have endured over the last 3 years , and all I can think about is our future and what lies ahead. I have a wonderful husband that saved our little Zachary, by donating one of his kidneys ,who is a miracle that lights up my day every time I see his smile. A daughter Kiley who has seen and endured more than any child should, and our wonderful baby Austin who taught me that I have more love in my heart to give.

Thank you for all your support and prays.

God bless you all, Merry Christmas and happy New Year.

Love, Stacey

Hi from Brainerd! I am not so great on the computer, so hopefully you will get this. I can’t believe how fast time goes. I’m happy to see you staying positive and sounds like the kids are doing great! I think Austin weighs in almost as much as AJ!! Jaden is a peanut at 17lbs. We need to get the kids together soon.(and us, too!) Happy New Year! Lori, Erik, AJ and Jaden
