In hospital....probems with Jesse...may need surgery, please pray

My poor sweet Jesse was admitted yesterday (i am staying with him 24/7 as well) into the hospital. He is jaundiced and we are trying to figure out why. he may need surgery to correct a tube that leads to the liver or for his gall bladder (they are not sure he even has a completed one from the u/s. either way we are trying to move quickly and find answers so his liver isn't overworked from all the bile that could be backing up into it. They also noticed a heart murmur and an oddly shaped heart. So they are looking into that now as well. Poor thing!! i am so sleep deprived and worried to death about him. he is yellow and the whites of his eyes are as well. his levels are elevated pretty high so we are working as quickly as we can to figure this out. He nurses like a champ still, just started cooing and smiling and is now 8 weeks old and over 10lbs. Please pray. I will update when i can.
