Zachary has had a very lazy day….. I kinda like uneventful boring days. I dislike exciting days ..

The Plan~ To wait and let Zachary’s body heal from the Kidney transplants and suppress his immune system so he will not reject this new kidney. Zachary is still on IV Thymoglobuling “Nasty Med” to help protect this new kidney. He has had six/ 6 hr runs…He is pre-medicated with high dose Steroids, Tylenol and benedrly before his runs and after he is very restless. Thymoglobuling is a NASTY NASTY med and can’t wait for this last dose to be done.

Zachary still has very high blood pressures 150/90 even on meds.
Goal~ Try to lower blood pressures to protest this new kidney

Zachary is also having a lot of GI issues and has been nausea and unable to tolerate full feds.
Goal~ 70cc an hr on feds for 18 hours/ he is at 30cc now. Hopefully soon he is also still on IV zofran and feel much better.

Overall, He is doing AWESOME!! Hopefully soon he will be running out of here!

We are so thankful for all your support from family, friends and complete strangers.

Thank you all for all your thoughts and prayers
