Zachary has been doing great ! The last 3 days he has been full of energy during the day, and crashing by 7 pm every night. He’s sleeping much better through the night… His Blood pressures are kinda all over the place again.. “Not Liking” They did decrease his BP patch to a #2 from a #3.. I’m thinking we will have togo back up on the patch again. (Sad)
Overall, he is doing great and LOving school!

Please also follow him on facebook

Update..
Zachary is feeling a little better…… But, His bowels are not working and his BM has turned into cement, cause its been in there for so long… Its stuck and not moving..
He has been on Go-lytley for 4 days and has had many enema’s nothing is working.. He also has a very wet cough that started up last night..Not sure what else is going on?
The Plan~
~They are going to try a contrast enema
~and the surgery team is talking about doing a surgery called a” Ace procedure” I don’t know much about it….
~another chest x-ray (for the wet cough)

Overall, he wants to go home and is very irritable….

Zachary is in the hospital at the Uof M …I brought him in last night. He had extreme belly pain and was vomiting non-stop. He also spiked a fever of 104.6 !! His  labs are AWFUL and his creatinine “Kidney Function” took a jump!  The x-ray is showing a possible small bowel obstruction….. I am still waiting for a plan. I will update when I know more.

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayer,

Zachary made it to school the last 2 days!! He is feeling A little better, but has had very little energy this week….. He did have a play date with a  friend from school. “Which was very exciting for him”!  Hopefully next week will be a better week for him.
Overall, he is hanging in there… Good days and bad days. Praying for a HERO and for everyday to be a good day!
