We are headed home...

We got some news in the middle of the night that Lindsey had an extremely high bilirubin number. 15. They said she might have to stay an extra day after I was discharged. They put her under the lights and kept her there. It isn't a good idea to tell a mom she might have to leave her baby and go home. I was a little, ok, ask Bryan, a lot emotional and worried about the situtation. When my Dr. came in he explained everything to me and helped me understand what was going on. That helped me a lot. When they tested her again at 6am, it had gone down to 13. Still high, but it showed the Dr. that she was responding to the lights. I was able to feed her and then they had to take her right back. Bryan and I were able to sit by her in the nursery and watch her. Bryan fed her at lunch time and then we waited for the Dr. to come in. He said that we could take her home with the lights. She will need them for several days/24 hours a day and we will be able to go to AF hospital for her daily tests. She is such a calm and quiet baby and even though most babies hate the lights she doesn't seem to mind them. She looks like she is at the tanning booth. I will post pictures when we get home and settled. We are headed to the nursery to feed her and get her ready to come home!!!!! Yea!
