We had to make a return trip to the hospital on Tuesday. We went to the Doctors Office at 5pm, and found out that his bilirubin test from earlier in the day was at 14 and they start treatment when it reaches 12. So we got admitted to the hospital and he got to lay in an incubator surrounded with flourescent lights and baste in the 92 degree heat, while being fed electrolytes through an IV. It was really heartbreaking seeing him lay in there where they usually put premies. We got to take him out every 2 hours and feed and play with him. By the time the morning got there, his bilirubin numbers where down to 10. They took him out of the Incubator, but left him on the IV for 5 more hours to help flush out his system. He is now home and doing very good. I would like to thank my Mom for her help getting us supplies and for her support during that emotional time. I am glad she was in town at that time. THANKS MOM!!! We have a doctors appt. on Friday, so expect an update soon after.
