Jaundice Update

We think Amelie is almost done with her bout of jaundice. The home health care nurse was here on Saturday and Sunday, and on Sunday we brought her back into St. Joseph's just to draw some more blood. Her bilirubin levels are down and the acceptable level is up, so that's good news. We're staying on the bili blanket at home until another doctor appointment tomorrow morning, but we expect to be done with it then.

She woke up on her own to eat both of the last two nights (we were supposed to wake her to make sure she eats often), although last night we were hoping she wouldn't wake quite as often as she did! And after over 24 hours with no pooping, she pooped while the nurse was examining her - 10 times in a row! Now she's back to pooping more than enough.

We get to relax how much time we keep her on the blanket now, and it was wonderful to walk around the house with her a little this morning and cuddle her properly.
