I am a Mother on a Mission.. I will do everything in my power to get the word out about Organ Donation. Our Friend Bill Just had a kidney Transplants a couple of weeks a go and he had a living Donor that left the hospital 24 hours later. HOW AMAZING IS THAT!! In just 24 hours after saving a life , He was back on his feet and was home with his family.

Knowing you could save a life is got to be the most wonderful feeling. I am not a match for Zachary ,And as a Mother all you want to do is make your child better. I can’t !  So it is up to ALL of you out there to help me find him a HERO!  So he can live life again, and not feel sick and go back to school.

There is this wonderful friend of mine that also has a little boy that had a kidney Transplant that started a FaceBook page called (Save Zachary) WOW ! In less than 2 days over 600 fans !! That is AMAZING ! I just pray that those fans if they are the right blood type call in or pass his page on to others.

Their have been 100s tested and so far no match….

Now about Zachary…

The last couple of nights Zachary has been very restless.. No sleep for anybody.. Finally at 6pm last night he crashed. But he still got up every hour on the hour throughout the night. I talked to his Dr and all they can say is its part of the kidney failure. Everything is part of the kidney failure. Him not sleeping. Feeling sick all the time ,all his med

Zachary 1 day of school, 2 weeks before rejection.. He has not been back since.

Zachary had his first Kidney Transplant when he was just 11 months old, Which his Daddy gave him that second chance at life…. Than our lives changed again….Zachary went into Antibody , Acute and Chronic rejection September 30, 2009, He developed very high class 2 Antibodies . Zachary’s kidney is to damaged to repair, and with his high Antibodies it is going to be very difficult to find him a new Kidney. If you would like to be Zachary’s HERO and get tested to see if you are a match…PLEASE CALL… (612) 625-2186 This is the donor line. Zachary is A+ If you are A+ A- O+ O- and are in good health, under age 60 with good Blood pressures and no Diabetes you could be Zachary’s HERO!!!! Let them Know it is for Zachary Elsenpeter …..

Zachary has not been feeling good lately.. He has been up and down all night long feeling sick and dry heiving.. His Blood pressures are still high 130 /100 !! I am so scared that he is going to have a stroke !! The blood vessels in the Kidney are restricted and the Kidney has little blood flow.

We are still waiting to see if Christine is a match.. This has been the longest 2 weeks , and I am going NUTS !! This waiting game is so hard.. I just pray that the Lord will guide us through this journey and protect our little Zachary. It still seems like every other day is a good and than a bad. The Good day means he will sit on the couch and want to play his Wii. On a good day he will walk to his room and to the couch. On a bad day.. All he wants to do is lay in my bed and watch movies and sleep. So either way he has no energy…..

I can’t remember the last time I slept through the night.. Every night Zachary is up and down almost every couple of hours feeling sick or he is just restless.. I am thinking from all his Meds. Nights are rough and it is wearing on all of us and especial Zachary.

Tomorrow Zachary has a Drs. appointment with Pulmnology (Lung Dr)

…. The plan is to get to the bottom of why Zachary has had Pneumonia 5 times this year. Hopefully we can come up with a plan.

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayer,

Sorry for the lack of updates…

Well, no news yet on the potential Donor. I called the Transplant center again today and the test are still running… Not good :( That means that Zachary has a lot of Antibodies. It could take until the end of the week ! This waiting is so hard…..

The other news  that we found out today was that because Zachary has class 2 high antibodies that he is not a Candidate for a cadaver Kidney and his best chance is only a living Donor. That is not good either :(

If Christine (donor) doesn’t match than we need everybody to help us get the word out about Zachary.

Yesterday we all had a blast at the Mall of America Water park !! Thank you hopekids !!

I will update pictures later.

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers,
