Help Zachary      Zach needs a new kidney!!!
Jan 28, 2010

Zachary had his first Kidney Transplant when he was just 11 months old, Which his Daddy gave him that second chance at life…. Than our lives changed again….Zachary went into Antibody , Acute and Chronic rejection September 30, 2009, He developed very high class 2 Antibodies . Zachary’s kidney is to damaged to repair, and with his high Antibodies it is going to be very difficult to find him a new Kidney. If you would like to be Zachary’s HERO and get tested to see if you are a match…PLEASE CALL… (612) 625-2186 This is the donor line. Zachary is A+ If you are A+ A- O+ O- and are in good health, under age 60 with good Blood pressures and no Diabetes you could be Zachary’s HERO!!!! Let them Know it is for Zachary Elsenpeter ….. When you leave a message please be PATIENCE. They will call you back

Zachary has not been feeling good lately.. He has been up and down all night long feeling sick and dry heiving.. His Blood pressures are still high 130 /100 !! I am so scared that he is going to have a stroke !! The blood vessels in the Kidney are restricted and the Kidney has little blood flow.

We are still waiting to see if Christine is a match.. This has been the longest 2 weeks , and I am going NUTS !! This waiting game is so hard.. I just pray that the Lord will guide us through this journey and protect our little Zachary. It still seems like every other day is a good and than a bad. The Good day means he will sit on the couch and want to play his Wii. On a good day he will walk to his room and to the couch. On a bad day.. All he wants to do is lay in my bed and watch movies and sleep. So either way he has no energy…..

I can’t remember the last time I slept through the night.. Every night Zachary is up and down almost every couple of hours feeling sick or he is just restless.. I am thinking from all his Meds. Nights are rough and it is wearing on all of us and especial Zachary.

Tomorrow Zachary has a Drs. appointment with Pulmnology (Lung Dr)

…. The plan is to get to the bottom of why Zachary has had Pneumonia 5 times this year. Hopefully we can come up with a plan.

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayer,
Stacey

Oh Stacey,
I know how hard it is to wait. I hate doing it too. The kids and I prayed for Zachary tonight and will continue to do so. Luke’s labs were better this week but he has had high blood pressures today. Two of them 135/90′s. We are done treating this rejection so, now I am waiting on God. Just continue to lean into him as I am learning to do myself. Praying for you and Zachary.
