Ollie & Biliruben

We were anxious to go home and were sitting with the doctors and nurses on Monday morning when they told us Ollie's biliruben count was high (Jaundice). We had two options. We could stay at the hospital another day and Ollie could have phototherapy to get his count down. Our 2nd option was to have home phototherapy and put him on a light bed. This wasn't as aggressive to get his count down but we still decided this was the option we wanted.

We had to keep Ollie under the lights for 2 days but his count quickly came down and now he is in his own bed.
