Help Zachary      Zach needs a new kidney!!!
Sep 30, 2009

Zachary is in the Hospital…  :(   We came in this afternoon. He had his labs drawn this morning and they are just not doing what they need to. His creatinine and BUN “kidney function” just keeps going up! Not good… :(

I picked him up from school and took him home for a nice warm bath. I gave him a little talk about how his kidney is not very happy and needs to see the Doctor. The first thing he said was” do I get to play video games” All I could do was laugh… :) Zachary loves video games… So, He was Ok with heading to the hospital as long as he gets to play his game.

They drew his labs when we got here and they are just getting worse.. :(  they also put an IV in to give him extra fluids and the did another X-ray to see what his lungs are doing.

The plan tomorrow is to look and see if he is in Acute rejection. That means that they will have to do a Biopsy. I don’t have a time yet, but I will update as soon as I know.
