I am so sad!!!! Zachary’s facebook page got delated !! We lost over 7,000 fans !! Please pass on his facebook so we can find a HERO! I started a new face book under the same name  ”Save Zachary Elsenpeter”

To all new comers …

Zachary is a 6 yr old little boy that has touched many lives…

Zachary has had over 30 surgeries, Multiple complications and Countless hospital stays through out his 6 yrs of life. When he was 11 months old His Daddy saved his life by donating one of his kidneys to him. Zachary went into Acute, Chronic and Antibody rejection September of 2009.. The Rejection was stopped, but his Kidney was to damaged to repair. Zachary had 7 treatments of Plasmapheresis , IVIG and high Dose Steroids. .. This was very very hard on him and he fought very hard…

Zachary developed very high class 2 antibodies leaving less then a 1% chance of finding a match.. There have been over 600 AMAZING people tested and still no match.. We have done News story , News paper articles and he has over 7,000 fans on Facebook. Right now testing is on hold until his antibodies come down  some more and he is infection free from his Abscess that was missed for many months ….If you want to know more about his abscess please read his up dates from the last 8 months.

Zachary is stable and doing great! Testing is on hold  for right now…I will let everybody know when we start testing for a HERO!

Overall, Zachary is AMAZING !! He has beating the Odds and proven everybody wrong ! He is here for a reason and has touched not just my life but many others.

Overall, he is AMAZING !!

I’ll update tomorrow with more pictures

Wade and I have been going back in forth about bring him in… He has no fever. “Which is good” The plan I think is to wait and see what he is doing tomorrow..

Tomorrow Zachary is suppose to start camp..Well, we are not sure if we are sending him. I ‘ll have to see how he is in the morning..

This weekend was a busy weekend so I hope he is just wiped.

Tomorrow I pray for a better day so he is able to go to his 1st day camp!!

Zachary is doing AMAZING !! He has way to much ENERGY!! Always running and smiling None stop! I am still waiting for his urine to come back..I should get those results tomorrow.

His Blood Pressures are still high the 130/90′s ! and his blood sugars have been a little on the low side..We are just keeping a close eye on them.

Overall, He is AMAZING and it’s hard to keep up with him now! “Even in Kidney failure”… I am scared when he gets a new kidney how much energy he will have.

But when he does it will be a BIG Celebration!

Thank you all for your thoughts and Prayers

Yeasterday we went to Elko Speedway Race track !! What a fun day !! Thank you HOPEKIDS !!

Zachary got to race in a quarter Midget race car !! He did AWESOME until he tried to stop ! Well, He didn’t stop and ran one of the pit crew helpers over. Everybody was OK ! Just a little shakened up. Then we watched the Car races !! WOW ! VERY AWESOME!! I can’t wait for another race !!

UPDATE ON labs… Well they are NOT great… His creatinine and BUN took a jump … Not good. They  did a urine and his urine creatinine/protein ration came back very high 3.86 !! NOT GOOD either..

We still don’t have a plan..I am still waiting for the DR to call back.

Overall, he is having a blast living life !!

Today was a fun day playing with little baby Toads… It was so much cooler out today , so Zachary was able to be outside more. His tummy is still looking pretty bad… I can’t wait until Tuesday when he sees the Doctor again. Bp’s still high…I am getting more use to seeing the high #’s and not getting so worked up about them .

It ‘s so much fun watching him play with the Neighbor Kids.. Living life !! Running and playing catch with the Football.

Tonight he is reading Books to me !! His reading is getting so much better over the last 2 weeks.. I am just amazed that he is reading level 1 books and is starting on level 2 books. School starts in September….We are thinking that we are moving him to 1st grade !! How exciting !! It all depends on his health..

Overall, he is doing great !! It’s just his tummy ” Surgery site ” that is a big issues still !! I just wish it would heal… I get sick to my tummy, thinking about it..

I just want to Thank you all, for your amazing support over last 6 years..We love reading all your comments and encouraging words and Prayers. YOU ARE ALL AMAZING !!

DONATE LIFE !!!

Zachary is having a pretty good day.. The heat has been very hard on him . He has been hanging out mostly inside playing games, coloring and painting.

Hi surgery site is not looking to good..I just called the Dr. to hopefully get him in soon, to make sure that it is heal ok. I know being immune Suppressed can take longer, But it’s still bleeding on and off and swollen around his surgical site.

We are very excited to a new Start with a new Doctor…I like the Idea of News Eye’s and Idea’s on a future plan for Zachary.

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers

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 !!! ]]> http://help-zachary.com/2010/07/20/doing-awesome/feed/ 2 http://help-zachary.com/2010/07/19/surgery-went-great/ http://help-zachary.com/2010/07/19/surgery-went-great/#comments Tue, 20 Jul 2010 02:47:15 +0000 elsenpeters http://help-zachary.com/?p=2078 Zachary’s surgery went great !!! And we are HOME !!

He is doing great !!

They had to revise his mitrofanoff. The abscess and Mitrofanoff tracks were connected all the way to the bladder causing all of these issues with him being so sick for the last many months. The Drs have never seen this happen before. They cut out the abscess and pulled out the Mitrofanoff track out about 3in . The plan is to keep his pain under control and pray that this doesn’t happen again..

No Guarantee’s…Because Zachary is immune suppresses he is at risk for these issues.

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers,
