Help Zachary      Zach needs a new kidney!!!
Feb 27, 2009

p10104125I still can’t believe that Zachary finally had this surgery. After 3 hospitals and 6 DRS  and one full year with no DRS agreeing  Zachary is doing beter than expected and  now his little body will be ready for another Kidney Transplant when the time comes.

We are finally settled in Zachary’s room.  He is wanting to drink and sit in a chair. He has not complained or cried and is asking to watch a movie!!!   We prayed for a text book surgery, and our prayers were answered. We prayed for no pain and complications and our prayers were answered. The Lord is awesome!!! Zachary has had over 30 surgeries and this is the first that has gone perfect!! We pray for no Infection and for a fast recovery.

Thank you for all of your prayers, Keep them coming, because they are being answered!  Zachary is one tough kid! The nurses have been coming in one by one and can’t believe how good he looks for the big surgery that he had!!!

Update- I think we spoke to soon, Zachary is throwing up through his Nissen “Not good’ and in a pain.
