My Montage 10/23/09
My new Montage that i just made..

UPDATE… I am PISSED OFF.. The U of M failed to tell us that Zachary is also STILL in Acute rejection along with the chronic!! We thought that he was just in chronic and that the Kidney was to damaged to repair!! That is NOT the case! He is STILL in ACUTE and the Uof M decided without my permission to NOT treat it!! Because they feel that this Kidney is to damaged to repair.. Well, It would of been nice to inform ME!! The DR. That is on thought that I new..she was shocked.. The Plan is for me to sit here and watch it go…
I know that it is a bad Kidney, and I know that he needs a new one.. It just would of been nice to know the TRUTH…

Sorry I need to vent once in a while..It is just so hard to sit here and watch this happen….

UPDATE…. Zachary’s Liver function Labs are off.. The Drs. feel that his body is confused and just needs time to settle down. They will be checking his liver function everyday.
The spleen.. They have no clue why his spleen is also in larged..

Zachary had an ultrasound late last night.. The results were not good. His Liver and spleen are very enlarged and his little tummy is full of fluid… Zachary’s body is under a lot of stress from all of his treatments “plasmapheresis, IVIG and high dose steroids”. That is body has no clue what to do..I fear that his body is trying to fight off his other organs.. The DRS are also concerned and have order a whole set of labs that are being drawn right now.

Zachary needs a lot of prayers.. his little body is struggling…

He needs to be home with his family..

Zachary is very swollen.. his tummy is huge and the right side of his body is more swollen then his left. He also has a lot of fluid around his

Please pray for these DRS to come up with a plan.
