Brynna's Second week

our little glow worm irritated with the billy blanket.

Our second week home was a little rougher than we thought it would be. Everyone in the house ended up being sick. We ended up at the doctors office with Dane to get him some medicine and since we were there we went ahead and had them check Brynna out as well. I am so thankful that we did because our doctor thought that she looked a little more jaundice than what we said she was when she was discharged. The last night in the hospital she was in the NICU under the billy light because her levels were high. By the time we left she had come down enough to go home. The doctor was concerned enough to have us go to the hospital and have her tested. The test came back and sure enough her levels had rebounded and were really high. The doctor ended up having a billy light sent to the house and we had to keep her on it for 5 days. It was such a pain to keep on her and nursing was even more difficult. The worst part was having to have her heel stuck so many times to test her blood and make sure her levels were going down. Finally after the 5 days she looked much better and we were given the ok to take it off. I am so thankful that we have such a wonderful pediatrician. She is always more on the cautious side and it has benefited us more than once.
