Help Zachary      Zach needs a new kidney!!!

Day # 1 reovery

Zachary had an AWESOME night !! His blood pressures are coming down and his pain is under control… I am not use to having no complications and at least some drama.. I think with all of these extra prayers somebody is definitely listen. Thank you so much for all your prayers!! If he can tolerate his feeds this morning we get to go home some time tonight.

I talked to the Drs last night about Zachary’s high antibodies.. His primary Kidney Dr.  didn’t have  any Idea that they were 97% !! I guess the labs value just came out yesterday . I am so worried…… I can’t believe that he now only has a 3% chance of finding a ” “HERO” Kidney……. The plan is to PRAY.. and PRAY HARD that his antibodies come down. He  already had Plasmapheresis and IVIG  to help but they didn’t stay down to long.

We are thinking about checking out other Transplant  Hospitals to see what they have to offer.. There has to be some one out there that is doing a study on lowering class 2 high antibodies on Transplant patients. If anybody has suggestions please feel free to email me.   Elsenpeters@msn.com

Our Family and Friends are having a Benefit for our Family at the American Legion in Coon Rapids on June 6 , 2010. If you would like to help with setting it up or donate something for the Silent Auction Please call Gina Christian at 763 754-0556

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers,

Stacey

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.

We are praying very hard for Zach so he can come home ASAP. I will also be calling your mom so I can help out with the benefit and I would also like to donate one of my diaper baby baskets that I make and if I find anything else you can have it. Let me know if you need anything.
