Help Zachary      Zach needs a new kidney!!!
Dec 28, 2009

What a great Christmas that we had !! We are all home as a family  :) It is so nice to sleep in my own bed, to eat in my own Kitchen, to shower in my own shower.   Wow, and to take theses small things for granted… But when you don’t have them , You realize how much you need them and miss them.

Now that Christmas is over we look forward to a new year….. This year we pray for a HERO to be found to save our Zachary. We pray for the Health of our family and friends and we pray for God to guide these Doctors to protect our Children and our health.

I talked to the transplant center today about a possible potential match. They will draw Zachary’s blood and her blood at the same time and will have to ship it the same day to Chicago. It is going to be a long process because his Antibodies are so high. So far over 100 people have called in to be tested. WOW! That is amazing !! You are all HERO’S !

There is another little amazing girl .. Her name is Vivica,

This is Vivica and Zachary

This is Vivica and Zachary

and is is fighting for her life living on Dialysis. With over 100 people that are willing to be Zachary’s HERO. I am amazed! Vivica and her family would be grateful if theses 100 people that didn’t match Zachary would get tested to see if they could be her HERO. That would be the greatest gift ever!!

That is awesome! So, if we aren’t a match for Zach, do we need to re-draw to see if we are a match for someone else? How does that process work? Praying for heroes for all of these beautiful children.

Stacey and family,
I pray for Zachary and your family every single day. I pray that God will send Zachary’s hero soon. My son, Grayson was diagnosed with leukemia in April 2009. He saw the link to Zachary’s video montage on my Facebook page one night. He asked if we could watch. It was an amazing moment. He so related to Zachary’s world with the ivs, nurses, hospital setting, masks, etc. (I watched with tears rolling down my face relating to the experiences as a Mom.) He asks about Zachary often and I remind him that we need to keep praying for someone to be Zachary’s Hero and give him a kidney.

You are an amazing family. Keep fighting the fight with the strength God gives you. It is with His strength that you will be well armored and ready to fight every battle large or small that comes your way. God bless.

Praying without ceasing,
