Zach's Montage
Help Zachary      Zach needs a new kidney!!!
Feb 28, 2009

Zachary is still in and out and is very sleeping.  He is throwing up about every 15mins and His blood pressures are still to high 150/100.  The DRS started him on a new IV blood pressure med and said that we NEED to get these under control. His white count is alittle on the high side so that could explain his fevers.  Zachary needs his JP tube dressings changed every couple hours because his body is making to much peritoneal juices, The juices are leaking through the dressing and on to his bedding. His body has been making over 100cc a hour of extra fluid in the Peritaneal. 

We need lots of prayers for the DRS to get Zachary’s Blood pressures to come down and stay down.

Thank you for all you prayers and support,

Stacey
