Jaundice


We brought Grace home with a touch of Jaundice. We had to bring her back to the hospital on Sunday to get her Bilirubin count taken. The numbers had gone up a little so we have Grace under Phototherapy. Which means...a nurse came out to the house on Sunday and brought a light table for Grace to be in. Grace must stay in these lights as much as she can until her Bilirubin numbers go back down. We may take her out to feed and change diapers. (Of course that is killing all of us.) The nurse comes back daily to take her blood to check the Bilirubin number. It is so nice that they come to our house. We saw the doctor today, she thinks that Grace already looks better and it should only be another 24 to 48 hours under the light.
