Hi all,
Here is a quick update on our little man. He had to get a blood transfusion Friday and yesterday because his counts were low. His white cell count was really low so he is once again susceptible to infection.
Kim noticed that his ear was oozing a little (sorry for being graphic) and his blood pressure was high yesterday during his visit to MUSC. They told Kim to have his BP taken on base today and it was high. So, off to MUSC again and it was still high. They did a renal ultrasound and found that his kidneys are abnormal. They are normal size but there are some dark spots that the docs are unsure about. It could be many things (calcium deposits, his medicines, leukemia or tumors). He’ll be on some meds to try and bring his BP down and see it that clears things up. If not, they’ll do a kidney biopsy and do a bone marrow aspirate while they’re at it. The cancer doc said his counts would have probably shown if it was the leukemia creeping back but they can’t rule it out.
That’s about it for now. Kim and the kids are on the way home from the 3rd weekday in a row spent in the hospital with BP medicine and ear drops. Please continue to pray for Zach and the doctors and nurses who take care of him.
Kim’s LLS marathon training is going well. Thanks to everyone who has donated to LLS. Please keep giving (ask your friends, neighbors, family members, coworkers and businesses to help as well!!!). We need to find a cure for this disease.
Remember, you can make donations at Kim’s website http://www.active.com/donate/tntsc/tntscKMoore and check her progress there too.
Finally, here is a really neat video of Zachary taking his medicine like a big boy. I think it’s truly amazing that he hardly ever fights taking his pills or liquid medicines even though I know they taste bad. Here is a direct link to his video. I haven’t linked it to his page yet. http://www.mooreck.com/vids/medicine.wmv
God Bless you all,
Christopher
