Sorry for the lack of updates,……  This year is NOT starting out to be a good year…On Friday last week Zachary was really tired all day and fell a sleep for the night by 6pm. Than Saturday he woke up having lots of back and chest pain . I was worried so I brought him to the U of M. He slept the whole drive and visit . They did X-rays that confirmed another bowel obstruction… Not good  :( ……. They started him on Go-lytley to get his bowels moving … and than he had great results that night ! Last time he was on Go-Lytley for 3 days before any results.!  Today is Monday and he is still very sleepy and just doesn’t look good. Ever since he went into rejection in October , he has not looked good and seems to have very little energy.   His Blood pressures are high AGAIN!! Today he woke up with a blood pressure of 133/96 !!  YUCK….  So tomorrow we are heading back to the U of M to see his Kidney DR to come up with a plan. They are also talking about doing further testing to see if Christine “HERO” is a match.

We are also talking about going back to Mayo for another opinion …on GI issues…and talk about what they think about this whole Kidney rejection and Transplant.

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers,

Stacey
