Hopekids walk 2009!

Hopekids walk 2009!

Thank you to everybody that helped us reach our goal for the HopeKids walk!!! We ALL HAD A BLAST!

Zachary has been sick all week with a nasty cough and a low grade fever. He seems to be fine during the day but night time is awful! I feel like I have a new born, up every hour with him coughing, puking, itching or his feeding pump beeping… Not fun!

I brought Zachary in to have his labs drawn and they are AWFUL!! Than Just now I got a call from his Doctor saying that his X-ray shows that he has  Pneumonia in both lungs. I am still waiting for the Kidney Doctor to call back to see what the plan is. His Creatine “Kidney Function jump up quite a bit.

Hopefully we don’t have to make a visit to the U of M! Especially now, with the H1N1 that freaks me out. Our neighbor who is almost  2 years old was very sick with it last week.

Please pray that Zachary’s kidney is not getting any worse and his lungs to heal.

Don’t forget! we are walking in the National Kidney walk this October, 11. If you would like to walk with Team Zach or  donate . click here  . Zach’s Kidney Walk website

Hello Stacey,
Thank you for visiting Luke’s caringbridge page and leaving the message. I read over Zachary’s story and history and it makes me cry. Because I do see my family and Luke’s situation alot. I am sorry Zachary has pneumonia. I hope he recovers quickly and does not require a trip to the hospital. I also love his shirt that says Warning: I am on steroids. Where did you find it? I am praying for your family. Take care and God bless.
