Poor Owen
This so totally sucks. We took Owen for his first doctor’s appointment today. Everything was good, except he is jaundiced. We spent all afternoon at the doc’s office and the hospital. His billirubin level was 18.5. The doc said that they put them under the lights at 15, and have to do other things in the hospital at 20. They brought the billi lights to our house, and Owen has to stay under them around the clock. He can only come out to eat and be changed. It sucks. I just want to cuddle him, but I can’t. He looks so pitiful in there. We went through the same thing with Elijah, but it still sucks. We have to have him back at the hospital at eight in the morning to have his billirubin level checked again. I hate when they stick him. They had to draw blood twice today, because they couldn’t get enough out of the first arm. He was so pitiful. Please pray that his levels will be down some tomorrow, and he won’t have to stay under the lights too long. I also have to go to the doctor tomorrow to have my staples removed. So, tomorrow should be an equally tiring day. I’m beat. I just hope that he is better soon.
