I haven't been around much lately because of Olivia's jaundice. She spent two days in the hospital because of jaundice and it went from 19.5 to 10.69 in those two days. We got home last Tuesday, and by Wednesday you could see her getting yellow again. By Thursday it had gone back up to 17.2.:tearhair:. She now has breast milk jaundice. It's never ending!! So, she has been on the bili blanket for the past week. I've had to take her almost every day for blood draws or pediatrician appointments. With the bili blanket, we've been stuck to a wall socket for the past week. As of yesterday, her level is down to 15.48, so we are finally done with the bili blanket and blood draws!!!:woo: They said that at two weeks it won't go back up. Breast milk jaundice can take up to 12 weeks to go away, so she will be yellow for a bit longer, but she is very healthy in every other way. So, now we don't go back until she's two months!! I am so relieved to be done with this whole ordeal!!

Owen was another continually jaundiced baby. She will be totally different now that she's not hooked up to the wall. Enjoy holding her minus the blanket!
