This is going to be a long road… Zachary is very sick…
Zachary is in 3 different rejections.. Which is not good… and this is very very very rare… they have not seen this.
Acute rejection…chronic rejection ..and a rare antibody rejection..
we are all very scared..
His bodies antibodies are fighting.. and killing his Kidney
The only thing to save his kidney is to do Plasmapheresis..
The Plasmaphersis is like Dialysis, but they say it is harded on him and his body.
last night they were unable to put the dialysis catheter in because his blood pressures and his potassium is way to high and it is to dangerous for him to have the surgery last night. He had also ate dinner and with his pneumonia it is just way to dangerous.
So they started him on high doses of steroids for the acute rejection, and now his blood pressures are as high as 147/127!!! The Drs. are very concerned.
The plan today is to bring him down to surgery between 7 -8 am to put the dialysis catheter in and pray that his lungs can handle it.
The chances of saving this Kidney are slim, but we are trying everything….
Thank you for your prayers,
Flood the heavens
