Super powers baby...

Since McCoy was so little he was a high risk for a rising billirubin. 15 minutes before springing from the hospital (we thought scott free) the Doctor came in and told us he needed to be on lights. We couldn't bare to put him on the billi bed with the net over his little head, so thanks to Jaymi's expertise, we were able to just use the billi blanket. I realize this is a minor setback, but it was one we hadn't dealt with any of the other kids. We are now experts! He was free from the heel pricks and the light blanket 5 long days after coming home. YEAH!

I'm glad you got the blanket! Rusty was in the bed and it was so hard for me and John. It was like putting him in a suitcase. McCoy looks great I am glad he is doing well!

Isn't technology wonderful? Back in the day we either had to leave our wee ones in the hospital or take them back every day for treatment.

I've never heard of such a thing! That is so great! Glad he's doing better and that you were able to bring him home! What a LITTLE cutie!
