We created this blog to help us document the story of Malia starting at 29 weeks in utero. There have been and continue to be struggles for Malia and for us. It is evident to us, as you will see, that the power of prayer is mighty and God does love us and hear our prayers. We welcome and invite you to follow along with us. Though lengthy, start from the bottom to get the entire story so far.

Double Ear infection

The poor baby has a double ear infection and if you could see her right now, you'd say "poor" baby too. She has been battling a high fever since Friday. Last night is when the high fever turned super high (106) and she began to vomit everything that went in her stomach. I took her into the pediatrician today completely sleep deprived and worried something was really wrong. I had no idea that an ear infection could cause vomiting and such high fevers. She currently still has a fever and is laying on my chest completely drained. She is still vomiting the little amounts of pedialyte that I am able to give her through her g-tube but the pediatrician gave her a super boost antibiotic that comes in the form of a shot and is administered into her leg so hopefully with that in her system and a 9 day regimin of Amoxicillin, she'll be better in no time. Just praying her fever subsides and that she stops vomiting so she can stay hydrated. I'll keep you all posted on her progress.
