Summer fun!! I wish we were there!! And not here!

Today has been a busy day for Zachary…

1st Labs…… Out come Not good… His labs are getting worse :(

Kidney Ultrasound… Ok

ECO Heart Ultrasound ” Just because his blood pressures are so high”… No results yet

BINGO!!! and YES he WON !!! He loves BINGO

last night was a rough night for Zachary.. :(  He was coughing half the night and then this morning the throwing up started. The Doctors are pretty positive that he is aspirating. He is fine all day and then night comes and when he lays down everything comes right back up. They are talking about doing another 24-hr acid reflux test to see how many times he refluxes.

The plan tomorrow is to Biopsy the Kidney to see if he is in Acute Rejection, or the chronic is getting worse.

Now they are thinking that his chronic is getting worse… :(  Not good! Chronic there is nothing they can do. if it is acute they can put him on IV meds to stop it. Chronic they just wait for it to go… :(

Please pray for good results tomorrow :) Zachary needs a break…  :)

Oh Stacey, lots of prayers your way! Zach needs a break. I hope his kidney can chill out and stabilize so you can go home.
