So Nattie was pretty jaundice when she came home from the hospital, so the day after we got home she had another jaundice test. Her levels were at 19.5, and I recalled that when Emmie got tested she was a 19.6 and Dr. Scott had told me they hospitalize kids when their jaundice levels are at 20 or higher. So I was pretty nervous, but then talked to Dr. Scott and he said she just needed to be on a bilibed at home. I can handle that! So we got her all hooked up and look how darling she looked in her bed!
She had to be under the lights from Tuesday to Friday morning, (Aug 18-21) when we found out her levels had dropped back down to 12. I felt gipped that I couldn't hold her all that time, but we cheated a couple times and it turned out alright. ;)

she is so darling.
Ohhhh, how sweeet is that!(the picture, not that she had to be in the bilibed).
goodness, how can she look so cute even in that funny bed?! I wish I could have seen her before you moved! Dang it. I'm glad she's so much better. That's a long time to spend laying in that thing! -Katie
