Alien Baby

My poor baby has jaundice. She had an elevated count when we left the hospital, so they wanted to see her at the doctor yesterday to check and her count has risen to 16.5, which apparently is creeping into the not okay territory. John and I both had jaundice and apparently it is at least partially hereditary. When I had it, I had to be under lights at the hospital with a blind fold, but fortunately, these days they are able to treat her at home with a Bili-Blanket. We have to go back today to check her count again, so say a pray that her count has improved. Here are some photos of my glowing baby.

  1. Awww! All of mine had jaundice, too. Nothing to worry about, but keep us posted. Thank goodness for the Bili-Blanket!!!

    I'm bugging John everyday about booking our trip. No luck so far, but he promises to figure it out soon. It just all depends on Allcat, because the rest of us are ready!
