Zachary last summer

It has been very crazy the last couple of days… Austin broke out in hives on Saturday, which looked like Chicken pox’s . I brought him to the clinic on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. By Friday morning when he woke up his face and head were so swollen he could hardly open his eyes. So off to the ER on Friday morning. They drew lots of labs and checked a urine. The out come is just a nasty viral that is causes these awful hives with mild ango-edema. That means swelling of the head and face. They put him on prednisone, benadryl ,Hydroxyzine, Tylenol and Zyrtec . So now we pray that Zachary doesn’t get this.

Zachary had his labs drawn and his labs are AWFUL

Now I am waiting to see what the plan is for him. I fear that they might admit him. His Creatinine , BUN and some of the other of labs are higher then normal. I pray that he is not going into rejection again.  I just pray that we find a match soon before he loses any more function.

There are over 2,700 fans on Zachary’s (Save Zachary) facebook and lots have called in to get tested. Thank you… You are all HERO’S.

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 …

Update..
The Transplant center called and Zachary will have his labs redrawn again next week.  Zachary is very tired and feeling pretty sick today.
