Zachary had a Doctors appointment today with his Urologist. The DR had a very had time cathing him through his Mitrofanoff. I have been the only one that can Cath him. About a month ago when Zachary was going through his Rejection, they were suppressing his immune system by doing Plasmapheresis , IVIG and his high dose steroid treatment to try to save his Kidney. His Mitrofanoff” for catherizing” him got a false passageway. Zachary had surgery to try to fix it Laparoscopic. They were unable to open him because he was so sick. Well Zach’s Mitrofanoff is having some issues again, and this time they will have to open him up for another surgery to fix it. The DR is going to wait until we are done testing him next week for his esophagus and Lungs. Depending on results they might try to repeat a 3rd Nissenfundoplication and fix his Mitrofanoff at the same time. This is going to be another big surgery for Zachary. More than anything he needs a new Kidney.
I quit counting for surgeries 2 years old , than he was at 30!! I have no clue anymore how many Zach has had. We just take one day at a time and pray for tomorrow to come.

We are so grateful for everybody that has called to get tested. if you have any problems please email me.

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers,
Stacey
