Help Zachary      Zach needs a new kidney!!!
Oct 02, 2009

To read newer post go up top and click on home…. :)

Zachary had another rough night.. :(  His blood pressures are out of control!! I am getting scared!   Last night he grabbed his head and started to cry. :( His head was pounding he got really dizzy and he could not see out of his left eye. His blood pressures had jumped to 137/107 fast, because 1/2 hr before they were 120/ 77. The Doctor are worried that he is now getting high cranial pressure, Not good!

I am so glad that we are here…

The plan to is to Biopsy the Kidney at 11-am TODAY

We now know that something major is going on with this kidney…

If he is in Acute rejection they will start him on IV steroids..

If he is in chronic.. It will tell us that he is getting worse and fast and there is nothing we can do.. :(

I hope It is fine.. But I think I will take the Acute rejection, at least they can treat it.

I am going on maybe   4 hours of sleep in the last 2 nights, and is getting over a nasty sinus infection. which I feel is coming back at full force.

Please pray for good labs… :)

no rejection… :)

for the DRS to come up with a plan about Zach aspirating. :)

and for us to go home soon :)

I know we just got here, but Zachary is having a hard time being her  :(     They are always checking his labs.. He has no more vein and I think he is getting sick of them always checking his blood pressures.

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers,

Pray NO-REJECTION!!!

Hello there, buddy, asking the Lord to put up a high protective healing wall all around you preventing any and all rejection, infection and anything else that could possibly harm you!

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior …”
– Isaiah 43:2-3
