Being at the hospital was just plain awful. I got no sleep and Jude was not real happy about the light. Thankfully it was just one night. By the next morning his Bili Levels had fallen to 17. We were released but instructed to continue phototherapy at home.
Sunday we had a follow-up appointment and his levels were still 17. We were told to continue for at least another 24 hours. This morning the nurse came by and got more blood. We found out later that his levels today were 16.3...so the phototherapy continues.
Our sweet little man is a week old now and we can only take him off the light for feeding. It just kills me that we can't play and cuddle him more. Hopefully we'll get better news tomorrow...
On the bright side, today he weghed 8lbs and 6oz whereas he weighed 8lbs even yesterday. So maybe his weight is starting to pick back up?
