We did have a little set back last week.
Madison's billy rubin (jaundice) levels continued to climb the days following her birth. We were in to the hospital 3 times to have her blood taken and each time her levels were inching higher and higher. Finally, on Wednesday, December 23 we were admitted to the hospital so that Maddie could go under the photo therapy rays.
Lucky girl! At only a week old, she has been to Cuba.
She did very well and her levels shot back down quickly. We were able to come home again on Christmas Eve... thank goodness... otherwise, I would have had 2 very upset little boys on my hands!
She continues to do well. Her weight is steadily increasing and she is becoming more and more alert.
Hope these photos can give you a smile..

Oh she is too cute for words. Georgia had jaundice too after she was born, stubborn girl just wouldn't poop and the docs said that was the way to get rid of the bilirubin. LOL....Maddie is a doll Lea. So glad you had her home for Christmas. Hugs

She definitely looks like she enjoyed the sunbathing in the second picture. She has this little smirk on her face that says "Yesahhhh - love being in the warm sun when its chilly outside."
