Malakai was born Sep 24, 2008. At four weeks old, multiple tests determined he had a rare liver disease called Biliary Atresia. BA is when the bile duct between the liver and the small intestine is blocked or absent. He had his first surgery Nov 6 to temporarily fix the problem. During a five week hospital stay for ascites, Malakai was put on the transplant list on Mar 20. He recieved his "Gift of Life" May 12, 2009 at Children's Hospital in St. Louis.

His cultures are still positive...
The surgeon just came in and said his cultures from yesterday were still positive. He said this was "strange." He said normally at this point they start to show up negative. They're going to give it until tomorrow and if it still shows up positive they're going to have to decide what path they're going to go down. He said the good thing is, he's not acting sick...he's eating great which is a good sign. The doc also said they're going to test him for c-diff because he's had a lot of runny poops. Please continue to pray that he fights this infection and we get over this bump soon!
