The Return of Jaundice

Two Monday's ago we got discharged from the hospital because they felt like Kennedy's jaundice levels were down.  We went in for a recheck on the following Tuesday and they had gone up slightly and wanted us to do indirect sunlight with her and have her rechecked on Friday. Here she is with Daddy before the Tuesday appointment.

On her way to get checked, so cute!


At the Friday appointment, her levels had gone up enough that they wanted to bring lights out to the house.  Here is K in her new cool tanning glasses.

We have a picture of Lincoln just like this.  Here lamb is watching over her.

Each day a nurse would come out and draw her blood.  We had the bed for three days before they took it away.  Here is my Mom on Sunday helping out while Craig went to the TCU game.  Love you mom!















It was a hard three days, but it was so nice when we just got to hold her.  We had a check again this past Tuesday to see how her levels were and they had gone up again.  Our doctor decided to check for other things and had to take 4 viles of blood from her, it was just awful! We went back on Friday for results and another recheck and everything came back ok, and her level had gone down a bit, not much, but enough to not worry as much.  So while we still don't know what is causing her to have jaundice this long, we hope this will be the end of it soon and we can just enjoy our little girl!
