Quick Update - No Surgery
We found out yesterday, quite by surprise, that Malachi's surgery has been postponed until next Wednesday. He is not tolerating having the tube out of his stomach, despite our efforts to think downward and gravitational thoughts. We tried really hard last night, but after just a few hours with the tube out he started vomiting and gagging again. He has not tolerated feeds either, and both of those together indicate that something else is wrong. We are headed to the hospital now and will know more hopefully today after some more tests. The surgeons hope is to find everything now and get it all fixed in one surgery verses multiple surgeries. It is the best thing for Malachi, but it sure is hard to watch him stare at me and wonder why no matter how hard he sucks he can't get any milk out of his binki. He wants to nurse but his tummy will not allow anything to stay. A bit torturous for me, but at least I get to be there and hold him now.

keep rocking your baby. You are nourishing him just perfectly!
our prayers are with you and him, Amy. We know how tough this is, and we also know that there are a lot of people praying for him.
We'll be in touch
While you hold him in your arms we are holding him in the knowing that he is in good hands all the way around!
Well, I am glad that they are watching him closely and will make sure that he gets everything done at once. But in the mean time, poor Mama and Malachi. You all will continue to be in our prayers. I hope he is keeping his weight up and is a strong little man. Sounds like he is a fighter!! Love you all and wish I could be there to help...
