Bilirubin, not as cute as it sounds

Bilirubin Baby

No Eli is not tanning in this picture, though I do think he is enjoying himself. Eli has a case of Jaundice. He’s been in phototherapy for the last 24 hours to help him process the Bilirubin build up in his system. After having him spend the first night sleeping next to Molly in bed it was somewhat heartbreaking to have to let him go to the nursery. Though his latest blood test is looking better so we’re optimistic that he’ll be released tomorrow. If not at least he’ll be the most tan baby around.

    The kid is already doing push ups; I wouldn’t believe it if I had not witnessed it. Can we put him in Ripleys??? What do you all think.
