Help Zachary      Zach needs a new kidney!!!
Jun 13, 2010

Nights are still very restless..With lots of screaming. Now I think he is so sleep deprived that anxiety is starting to play apart in his sleep issues. We are back down at the U of M tomorrow to talk about another plan for his sleep issue.

Yesterday I brought Zachary to famous foot wear because his shoes are to tight. I felt so bad.. I was squeezing him into a size 10 but he measured at almost a 13 ! He grew almost 3 sizes in less than 6 months ! AMAZING !! Kidney Kids are smaller and when you are in Kidney Failure you don’t grow. Well, Zachary is growing and getting bigger !!

More Good NEWS!! He is starting to eat about 300cals a day by mouth !! We are so excited ! He need to be very careful when he eats by mouth because he aspirates from above and below. He has had aspirating Pneumonia about 7 times since his Nissenfundelplaction Take down when the Drs. Perforated his stomach Feb 2009. He is making AWESOME progress !!

Overall, He is doing great. I am still waiting on a call back from the Drs. about his Mitrofanoff site where his Abscess is. It’s looking better but seems to be getting deeper into the track.

Thank you for all your thoughts and Prayers ,
Please consider to get tested to save these AMAZING people in HONOR of Zachary my HERO!! They all have very high Antibodies like Zachary and need a HERO to get them of of a machine called Dialysis that is keeping them alive ! You could save there life or someone else living day to day waiting for that 1 phone call that could save there life !
