We are home!!! We came home yesterday just in time for my sister’s Wedding which was today at our house!! Talk about stress. The Doctor’s were a little worried about sending him home as long as he stays on bedrest for another week. Yes another week in bed! Try to keep a 5 year old down! Not going to happen. But today he did stay in bed and played lots of video games and watch some movies. We will have to see what tomorrow is going to bring us.
I still can’t believe that falling off a bed could cause this to damage the Kidney, but i was wrong. When Zachary does get up or is moving around he still has blood clots in his urine, so that worries me because if he bleeds for 24 hours straight then we are back in the hospital.
The Doctors also said that now he has damaged the Kidney more it has become more acceptable to recurring problems, so Zachary now has to be extra careful.
Please pray for Zachary’s Kidney to heal and for the bleeding to stop.
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers
Stacey

Zachary—what a sweet ride! What a grandpa you must have! You do your best to stay still and in bed, OK? I know its got to be tough—there is so much stuff to see and do–but this will help you stay out of the hospital! God bless you, little man!

Hey Stacey,
I’m glad Zach and you went home in time for the wedding. I tried calling 5A to talk to you Thursday and they said you were gone. We wanted to stop by on Wednesday but by the time we got done with labs the kids were ready to get home. Hopefully we get to see you again before we leave..Just not in the hospital!!! Maybe we can do lunch this week. I’m sure Zachary’s kidney will get better in no time and then he’ll be back to keeping you on your toes because Boys will be Boys!

Lots of Hugs,
Kendall Anderson
(Tyler’s mom–He just got a kidney July 12!!!)

PS. Your kids are beautiful!!!

I love the new web site. Glad to hear Zachary is back home. Still sending prayers from SC!!
