Thank You God!
In my last post, I referenced my young friend Zachary. His first kidney transplant, which he received as a baby, didn’t work out and at 8 years old he had been in rejection for two years. Over 1,000 people were tested to be a donor for Zachary’s second transplant but they couldn’t find a match. And what did his mom say about that? She is grateful that so many lives were saved because when people who stepped up to donate didn’t match Zach, they found they were matches to other people. She is so proud of Zach for making that happen. Talk about strong armor!
Since I introduced you to him, I wanted to give you an update about him. They found a hero! Zachary had his transplant yesterday and so far is doing well. Best of all, he is making liquid gold, pee pee, you know, urine!
If you have a couple of minutes, check out his website. http://help-zachary.com/ If you only have a couple of seconds. Please say a prayer for him and his family and all those involved in the transplant.
And if you are not already, please become an organ donor and let your family know your wishes. Living donors are amazing people, but recycling your organs when you are finished with them is amazing as well. You only have to check a box to save lives and you will be a hero too.
