Now: We had to stay up at the hospital for an extra night because he had a sort-of high level of jaundice. They wanted it to go below 11 and after a night in the blue cooker incubator, it dropped to a 10.8. We were told to take him to the doctor yesterday (Monday) to have it checked again to be sure it was going down, but it had gone up to 14.8. They told us to feed him as much as possible and keep him in the sun. Unfortunately, there weren't many hours of sun left yesterday and he was very fussy and wouldn't eat much until early this morning. We had to go back this morning and it was up to 17 and he had lost weight overnight. They then told us to put him in the sun again and feed him every two hours and supplement with formula after eating too. We have done that all day today and he's starting to get a natural color back. However, we go back in the morning and if his level hasn't dropped, he may have to go back into the hospital.
If you're still with me reading this, please pray that he will continue to be ready and willing to eat all day and night tonight and that his level will go down so we can keep him at home where we want him. Thanks for your prayers!
