Help Zachary      Zach needs a new kidney!!!
Archive for April, 2010

The Dr. Just called concerned about Zach’s EBV levels. EBV is related to PTLD.. “Post Transplant lymphoma Cancer”. It’s a balancing act… They had to cut his Immuno suppression medications in half so his body can fight the EBV. The bad news, is now we worry that his body is going to fight the Kidney off. We don’t want to lose the function he has left. Please pray that his body can fight the EBV without losing his Kidney.

Please watch his NEW Video … DONATE LIFE !!

Zachary had a Drs. appointment yesterday with the sleep Dr. The said that Zachary is very Iron deficient from being in kidney failure.. Low Iron can cause sleep issues like he is having. The DR is also thinking he has sleep Apnea and Restless leg syndrome. Zachary has had issues with aspirating at night when he sleeps. He had aspirating Pneumonia 5 times last year and NO Dr. has ever thought that he has sleep Apnea. How interesting.. I love getting more Drs. involved. On May 12, Zachary goes in for a sleep study over night.
The last 2 nights Zachary has been very restless and not getting a lot of sleep. I am very anxious for this sleep study. I want answers and I want to be able to help Zachary be more comfortable at night.

Please watch his NEW Video … DONATE LIFE !!

Today he played out side pretty much all day ! … Jumping on the trampoline and playing with the water hose . He even tried to ride his bike without training wheels !! It was a very exciting day !! I wish everyday was like today…..
Overall, Zachary is doing great!! His labs are stable and he is getting really excited about summer.
