Zachary getting ready for bed

Zachary is still very tired and cranky.. Nothing is making him happy

Zachary had his labs drawn today.. The results .. Well, his Ammonia which was very high on Monday is very low.. Crazy.. Why, I am not sure I am waiting for the Dr. to call back. I guess I would rather have it low then I high. The point is the rest of Zachary’s labs are off. His body is not sure what to do and it is coming down to the point that he needs a new Kidney. Zachary blood pressures are high again 140/92 !! So you guessed it, his creatinine is back down.. We can never go off his labs.. We have to go off of how he is feeling and how he looks. He looks awful and feels awful !! I think I would to if I was on as many medications as he is on. I think he is down to 36 meds.. Not sure I just make sure he gets them.

Next Monday Zachary is going in for another surgery to repair his Mitrofanoff and his lower unit. This is going to be a hard surgery for him because they need to re-open him again down the middle and around the belly button. Zachary is only 6 yrs. old and has had over 30 surgeries !! I quite counting 2 yrs. ago… I am thinking we are probably at about 45 surgeries , not sure but the point is no child should have to go through this much. I keep thinking and telling my self that Zachary choose us to be his Mommy and daddy .. He is here for a reason, he has brought so many people together .

Please pray for Zachary to say healthy  this week for his surgery next week.
