Jaundice

Sunday afternoon we headed back to the hospital so that Owen could get checked out for his high bilirubin count. We spent the night watching him sleep in a big light bed. He would spend about 3 hours under the lights with his little blindfold on and then we'd have half an hour to feed and hold him until he had to go back under for several more hours. He hated it at first, being naked and flailing around by himself, but I think by the end he started to like it. He got long naps and was toasty warm. We also did not like it at first, our baby crying and we couldn't do much to comfort him! Once he became more comfortable in his bed we were able to catch up on a little sleep. By noon on Monday his levels were low enough that we were able to go home. He's still a little yellow, and we have to have his blood checked a few more times, but the doctors are confident he'll outgrow this.

Round 3 of 7,8? Lost count...




John decided the glow box reminded him of Quantum Leap. I've never seen the show so I have no idea what he's talking about. He would like you to compare though...

More later, after our naps!
