It’s friday!! Zachary had another day of Hemo dialysis today at the U of M. He did VERY well! Blood pressures are stable and he is even eating! Tonight he has a friend over from school and he is playing like a little 8 year old boy full of energy! I have had to yell at him and make him sit and calm down. To much EXCITEMENT! But, he is feeling so much better! I haven’t seen this much energy in a while….. It’s so good to see him feeling better. Zach has the weekend off ! No Hemo dialysis until Monday!!! Tonight we are just hanging out watching movies… Even if you don’t have a facebook.. You can still follow Zachary’s story on Facebook. All you have to do is click here http://www.facebook.com/pages/Save-Zachary-Elsenpeter/127121614002476 or just type in “Save Zachary Elsenepeter” Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers, | |

Zachary had a good night!! Blood pressures are stable and he is finally feeling better. Hemo dialysis is very hard on these little guys… Today we are back down at the U of M for more test and then back on Friday for dialysis and another dose of IV antibiotics.. It’s been a very busy long week!! I want to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers through these difficult times. I also want to thank everybody for setting up the weekly meals for our family. We are so blessed to have all this support from our family, friends and complete strangers praying and helping our family out. Thank you! | |

Zachary did not sleep well last night… He had Very low Blood pressures, tummy aches, puking , dizzy and could not sleep, and he kept having nightmares. Today was another big day. Zachary had surgery at 10am at the U of M for a tube change out for his cecotosmy tube for bowel flushes and his G-J tube. It was a VERY LONG DAY! Zachary did very well with the tube change out, but woke up crying, irritable and puky….. Tonight he is feeling much better watching movies and playing with Austin………… Tomorrow is another busy day with dialysis at 9:30 am for a 4 hr run and then he will be getting his IV antibiotic that runs for another 1 hours… It is very hard for Zachary to sit for 5 hrs!! The plan is to bring LOTS of movies and books!! I hope this time they don’t take to much fluid off him… Last night he was very very dry!! and his low blood pressures were very scary…. Praying for a better night and day at dialysis tomorrow… Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers, | |
| We are going HOME!! |
