Zachary is having a better day.. He is still pretty sleepy and his blood pressures are still high . He is running 130/90′s a Little better but still way to high.
The last couple days i have been preparing Zachary for his surgery on Monday. He has had so many but as he gets older he has more questions. It is getting hard to explain to him because he is understanding so much more. No child should have to go through so much. I just pray that his body can handle another surgery.
I will update every couple hours on Monday during his surgery so watch for updates.
Please pray for Zachary to say healthy this week for his surgery next week.
We are also walking in the National Kidney Walk this year.. If you would like to walk or donate in Honor of Zachary please click below.

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 …
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers,
Stacey
