Update on Malaya - Birmingham Day 3 ... 1st Visit (Neurosurgeon-Curtis Rozelle)

The neurosurgeon was here at 8 am this morning to see Malaya and see if we had questions from the doctors yesterday and if they all made it in to see her. He told us that he is the doctor on call this weekend so he would be in and out all weekend to answer any more questions! He has Tuesday at 8am for surgery time. He will be explaining in more detail later about surgery procedures etc but will start Malaya on some steroids to control any swelling and will also help her with her energy and bring her to the best condition she can be for surgery. He felt of her soft spot on top of her head and said it was very soft and sunken ... Which is great because that shows there is no swelling going on therefore no pressure. In some cases, surgery has to be immediate without alot of planning for babies due to this ... So another blessing! He expects for the endocrine doctor to be in next, we do not know what time.

Malaya woke up, again in the best mood and full of energy and all smiles. We noticed after taking her bottle and blood being drawn, she became very tired quickly and is back asleep. Please be praying over her veins, nurses had difficulty again getting blood and it just broke my heart to see her look at me in such pain as they continued to try.

Lord, we just give this day to You and start out by praising You and thanking You for another day! We are so very thankful that You made a way for the very surgeon, that we believe You hand-picked, is also going to be the ONLY surgeon that Malaya will be in the care of all the way through surgery! Only You can make things like that possible!!! We also thank you Lord that these doctors are given the time to plan and for all Your people to pray before surgery has to be done!! We do not take for granted that this is special for Malaya to not have swelling that would lead to an urgent surgery! We are so very grateful for that God! We love You!
