A Rough Spell












As I am sure many of you did not know, yesterday (Sat) we returned to the hospital at the request of our pediatrician. Camryn had a high billirubin count when we left the hospital and we were told to watch her color and head to the pediatrician on Sat for more bloodwork. For those of you that are as clueless about it as I was, high billirubin can bring on jaundice. Because of Camryn's birth experience and the fact that my milk hasn't come in yet and yet a few other reasons, hers increased. Here we were just getting home and now a new hiccup to overcome. Needless to say we are home again with a healthy baby but not after a long night of watchfulness, light therapy, pumping and waiting for a milk supply and supplementing with formula....ugh. I think we now have it under control and are starting anew! Phew! Here are some pictures of Camryn's second hospital stay. In some of the pictures note her "raccoon eyes" from the light therapy. It broke our hearts to see our little one having to be "treated" but praise God she is home again and healthy! Now all we need is this little thing called a milk supply to come in...
