Keiki - Should I take action?

[DaytripperEleanor]

Hi! I am a relative beginner orchid grower, and I have never had a keiki before. My phalaenopsis started growing the keiki seen in the attached pictures perhaps in January or February this year. I know it has had the keiki at least since mid March this year, which is when I started actually logging data about my orchids in attempts to become a better orchid carer.

I recently watched a youtube video about how if your orchid's new leaf growth is much smaller than its past ones, that indicates the orchid is using up its energy somewhere else in the plant. The newest leaf you see in the attached pictures came after the keiki, and as you can see it is much smaller.

I have been waiting for the keiki to sprout roots before I remove it. But it has been quite a few months now, and I am concerned that the orchid's growth will be stunned or it won't bloom if it continues to support the keiki. From my novice eyes, the orchid itself looks like it is in pretty ok shape at the time, but I would like to try to grow a spike sometime in the future.

Any advice? Thanks for your time!
