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.

We got THE CALL
We got the call for a donor this morning at 9am. They said there is no rush to get to the hospital. They said the surgery will be around 6pm, hopefully its not a dry run like last time. I don't think my emotions could handle any more suprises. Malakai's mood has changed since we got the call, we know he can feel the emotion in the air, even though you try to fight through the emotions. It's hard to believe that this is were the hard part really start's. Say a prayer
