This is what he looked like when he was at Riley Childrens hospital in Indiana. He stayed this way for about 5 weeks. As of today his belly is normal. He had approximately 2 liters of fluid on his belly. God blessed him though he was as happy as a lark the whole time.
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.
