Help Zachary      Zach needs a new kidney!!!
Oct 26, 2009

UPDATE!! Miracles happen.. Zacharys creatinine is now down to 1.8!! We are rechecking later to see if its a lab error.. We are dancing!!!!! Pray that this is for real…They think because he has not eaten anything for days and they are doing a clean out. His Kidney is being flushed.. we just pray when he starts to get his J-tube feeds again his Kidney can keep up and keep flushing out the toxins.

My crazy BOY!! he was singing

Zachary had another all right night.. He woke up a couple of times hallucinating and feeling sick but was able to get some good sleep. Zachary is on his 3rd bag of Go-lightly and is still not cleaned out. He has gotten 2,155ml. This is CRAZY! The DRS have never seen a child on go-lighty for 3 days and not be cleaned out. Zacharys bowels are very very slow.

Zachary is now down to 20.1kg !!! which is Awesome. His dry weight is 17.8. We are almost there….I worry with him not eating or getting his j-tube feeds for almost 5 days now his dry weight is even down more.

Thank you everybody for praying for me..

Thank you everybody for praying for me..

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers,

Stacey

Stacey,
I am so glad to hear that Zachary is starting to feel better. I pray the creatinine of 1.8 is correct and can stay that low. I pray that the doctors can figure out what is going on with the rest of Zachary body especially the bowels. Take care and thank you for updating so frequently on Zachary.
