Help Zachary      Zach needs a new kidney!!!
Sep 26, 2009

Zachary is feel much better, but is still fighting Aspiration Pneumonia. He is up all night with a nasty cough and throwing up, he is also very restless at night. But during the day he feels great! :)

On Thursday, Friday and Saturday poor Zachary had to be poked… :( they have been checking his labs daily because his creatinine  ’Kidney function” has been high. Today it has come down a little, but now his BUN has jumped up. The BUN is toxins in your blood that make you feel sick.. So on Monday they are re-drawing his labs again  to make sure that they keep heading down the right direction.

It is so nice that Zachary has a J-tube. Because if he didn’t we would be in the hospital on IV’s… With him having a J-Tube I’m able to make sure that he is getting enough fluids and all of his medication.

Don’t forget we are walking in the National Kidney Walk October,11!!!
