Jaundice

Our poor little baby! At his first doctor's appointment, they said his jaundice is getting worse. When he was released from the hospital after birth, Andrew was an 8, which is borderline jaundice, but now he is a 17.5. That means the lil fella needs to be wrapped in a bili-blanket at all times and needs to have his blood drawn every day until his jaundice is gone. Mary says he's a little trooper, though: didn't even cry when the doctors pricked him for some blood.

The bili-blanket makes him look like a glow-in-the-dark baby!!
