Help Zachary      Zach needs a new kidney!!!

Zachary had a rough night…His urine bag connected to the mitrofanoff was not draining so Poor Zachary was very restless. Finally around 6am I was able to get it un clogged and we had liquid GOLD !! Very Exciting !! He has been having a little pain, but not much.. He is one tough boy ! I am still in shock that the abscess was connected to the Mitrofanoff and down to the Bladder. crazy !!

Zachary was so miserable for so many Months and nobody could figure out what was wrong and nobody listened. NOW we have Answers !! I just pray that his body can fight off all the nasty bugs and his body can heal.

Now for the GREAT NEWS !! Zachary’s antibodies that were between 97%-100% ! are now down to…………………… 80% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING!

They are going to re-draw them again to see if they keep going down or what his body is going to do.
Most likely his body was so stressed from fighting this abscess for so many months that it built up these high antibodies cause it to be impossible to find a kIDNEY.

This picture was 2 nights before his surgery.. night swinging…I love the look on his face. He was looking at something in the sky. Maybe, God was talking to him telling him everything was going to be ok.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR AMAZING PRAYERS !!!! GOD IS LISTENING !!!

I am so HAPPY things are turning around for you guys!!! It gets old seeing our little men in so much pain. They are tough that is for sure. Some time we will have to hook the little guys up and let them play. I will continue to pray for you, I think God listens very closely to a mothers prayers, and feels our pain. Well keep up the good work, Zachary wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for your hard work. Your friend, Rana.
