Jaundice

Little Steel had a few days that we had to monitor him for Jaundice.  It was not too scary, but he definitely looked like he had a nice tan.  Billy and I are not tan people, so we knew it was jaundice.  We went to the doctor the day after being discharged from the hospital to get his bilirubin checked and it was 12.  The doctor said that we could not get the lights at home and come back tomorrow to have it checked, or we could have the lights at home.  We decided to have the lights.  Steel liked it at first, but then after 36 hours, he was not having it.  It was like his own little tanning bed.  He had to be on it non stop and only allowed off for eating and changing his diaper.  Thank goodness it worked, and his levels dropped.
