Zachary still has high Blood Pressures 130/90! He is maxed out on all of his Blood pressure meds, and as his MomZachary not feeling well at his 6th Birthday party
I am very scared. I feel helpless.. I am supposed to fix him and make him feel better and I can’t. I am B+ blood and I cannot save my son. The Transplant center called and told me that 42 people have called in. WOW!! That puts me in tears knowing that 42 amazing people are willing give my son another chance at life. I am breathe taken by all of these wonderful people. Thank you… It is you that get me through my days knowing that we will find him a HERO.

Zachary is feeling pretty sick the last week. He has no energy and is very nausea through out the day. Zachary also needs to have another surgery to fix his mitrofanoff. That means that the Drs. will have to re-open him up down the middle again. Zachary has many false tracks in the mitrofanoff and it is coming to be impossible for me to Cath him. I fear for him having another surgery, his little body is under so much stress and he has no immune system to fight or to heal. We are thinking about having the surgery in January. I will update when I know more.

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers,
Stacey

I am so sorry to hear that Zachary is not feeling well. I have been blessed so far to not have to much of the spunk gone from Luke. I know how hard it is when Zachary is having blood pressure issues. Luke has high blood pressure now too. He is on five blood pressure meds and they are still not normal. Like you, I wounder what this does to their hearts. I am praying for Zachary and for the rest of the family.
