Getting ready to walk back to surgery!!! 2-22-11





We brought our new bundle of joy home on 2-24-11. He is perfect in every way!!!! He is such a great baby and we have enjoyed getting in our new routine! Routine: Less sleep but LOTS OF LOVE!!!!! We had a little scare with his bilirubin count at his Pedi appt Monday. He left the hospital with a 9.3 bili and on Monday it was up to 16.3. His pedi wanted us to get in front of a sunny window right away and give him pedialyte. So with the Doc's orders that is what we did. We went back the next morning for another blood serum check and his levels had dropped to 14.8. He was satisfied with the reduction and said he would not admit us back into the hospital. He wants us continue the "sun tanning" and lots of fluids, which he has picked up nursing quite well if we can keep him awake! So we continue to hope the levels will reduce and he will be checked again on Tuesday of next week at his 2 week appt. He would sleep for longer than 3 hour spans at night but I have to wake him to eat to help keep fluids in him! So much for getting him on a great sleeping schedule! He is quite willing to sleep ALL the time! Maddy has adjusted quite well and has realized there is a new little "being" in the house! She looks over at him when he cries and acts like he fits right in our home! We feel very blessed to have added such a little miracle into our lives and will continue sharing our joys! Lots of Love!!!!
