My angel sleeping

Zachary wants to go home! He has had enough, this throwing up is out of control and he is tired. The DRS came in and can’t believe that he is still throwing up on day 13 post-surgery. The DRS all say that they have never seen a child throw up has much as has in one day in their life time. I am scared that he will never get better, but the Drs just keep telling us that it will just take time for the Nissen to loosen.

Zachary had Physical therapy today to work on him getting his strength back; he still looks like a little old hunch back man.  He is getting stronger each day and is able to walk by himself.

Zachary’s Hemoglobin is still really low so the DRS checked an iron level, and sure enough Zachary is Iron Deficient that is why they are unable to get his Hemoglobin up. They gave him Iron through the IV today and are planning on repeating it again tomorrow. They are trying hard to avoid a blood transfusion because we are already having problems with high antibodies; that make it harder to find a new Kidney to match him.

Overall Zachary is looking great; I told the DRS that I am ready to go home! I am able to care for him better at home then in here. Plus everybody up here has the Retrovirus!!   We all ready know that the Kidney is damaged and he will need a new one; but why wait for him to get sick up here when can be home and relaxing on the couch watching movies. The only thing that scares me about taking him home is how much he is throwing up and his low Hemoglobin, which maybe it will get better if we leave this place. Sorry I need to vent sometimes and I ‘am very tired and just want to go home, I already told the DRS  that I want to leave by Sunday, not sure what they are thinking about that.

We pray for this vomiting to stop or aleast slow down.

Thank you for all your prayers and support,

Stacey
