I am a Mother of 3. 2 girls and 1 boy. My Son Malakai was born 3 weeks early. All along the pregnancy he was measuring 2 weeks behind. He was born at 5 lb, 2 oz 17 1/2 inches long on February 7, 2011. He was born with low blood sugar.. At age 5 days old, he started refusing to eat, he wouldn't wake up from his sleep. I rushed him to the Childrens Hospital 40 mins ago from my home. Luckily they rushed him back and got his IV in and got his blood sugar back to normal. He started his journey of tests, blood draws, hospital transfers to 3 different hospital. All tests were coming back normal... He does have 2 chromosome disorders but they aren't sure if its causing anything or not, or what they are called. He is almost 11 months old now, and still doesn't take a bottle by mouth. He just got cleared to eat babyfood, and hes doing wonderful! He started sitting up when he was 7 months old, still isn't saying any words, crawling, nothing. His Neurologist diagnosed him with Cerebral Palsy last week.
