Zachary is still doing Awesome !! The last 2 days his energy has gone down. I think he has been pushing himself way to much. his legs are very swollen at night and his blood Pressures are very high 130/90′s.

Overall , he is doing GREAT!! His labs are looking better and we pray that over time his Antibodies will start to come down. Now that he is infection free, hopefully his body will settle down.

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers,

Zachary is full of LIFE !! He is still doing Awesome ! He Had Drs. down at the U of M today and everybody was in shock to see how great he looks… I think these Drs need to have a meeting to figure out how this infection got missed for so many months. He was lifeless and we watched him get sicker and sicker each day not knowing if he was going to make it to Transplant. He is in Kidney failure, but he was acting a lot sicker than he should.

Tomorrow is another day to enjoy with our Amazing Son ! It’s so nice to see him smile, Run, Ride his bike and play with his Friends. Tomorrow is also lab draw day… I am praying for a Miracle !! He just looks and feels so good. I pray that this infection was causing his creatinine “Kidney Function” to be high. The only bad is his Blood pressures are still high. Today at clinic after his BP’S meds his BP’S were 127/87. Still way to high still on 4 BP’S Meds.

Thank you for all your prayers,
Check out the sparkle in his eye’s !!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY to all of you AMAZING DAD’S! ! Happy Father’s day to one very special person in our life. My Husband, Father, and Best Friend. On Dec 1, 2004 Wade saved Zachary’s life by donating one of his Kidney’s to him. I will never forget that day…. Both my boys were in the hands of GOD ! Almost 6 yrs later Wade is doing Awesome. He is one of the Hardest working Men, Best Father and Friend that I could ever ask for.

We LOVE you DADDY ! I hope you read this today while you are working.

WOW ! AMAZING !! GREAT!! WONDERFUL!! Zachary had an AWESOME DAY! He RAN, RODE HIS BIKE,PLAYED BASEBALL and JUMPED ON THE TRAMP!

We are thinking back in September 2009, when Zachary was going through rejection he had his Mitrofanoff repaired. His tummy has been hard in the middle since, but the Drs. kept saying that it was scar tissues. He has felt like crap with no energy, very puky, not eating, low grade fevers and very restless. All the Drs. kept saying is he is in Kidney failure. Well, He is… and his levels are not the greatest but, he should not of felt as sick as he was feeling.

Long story short… He got very sick 2 weeks ago with an abscess in his tummy that rupture. He was on 3 different IV antibiotics and came home on oral Antibiotics. 2 weeks later Zachary is a NEW Kid! I have my Zachary back ! His tummy is soft ..so it was not scar tissue. He most likly had an infection brewing this whole time until his body couldn’t take it anymore and had to try to fight it with a 105.4 fever.

It’s so crazy because the last 8 months Zachary looked and felt like a Crap. He was to sick to even go to Kindergarten and had to be home schooled. His tummy is nice and soft, He’s eating ,riding his bike and living life again ! he was so active today that his poor legs are very swollen. Now that darn Kidney needs to start to work !

Tomorrow we are going to watch Toy Story 3 with HopeKids.

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers
