Back to The Hospital We Go.....




Poor little Kayden. He has had to be poked and paraded a few extra times this week and it has not been fun. His poor little feet have all these little cuts. He is a trooper. Yesterday he had a check up and was really yellow so they took his blood again and the bilirubin was a little high. Grandma has been noticed the jaundice a little more every day. It is a little difficult because he has Asian blood but I guess after having 5 children my mom would know the difference. She's a smarty.

They checked his blood yesterday and again today at the hospital. We were hoping it was lower, but it was really high. We were out celebrating Mother's Day when the doctor called and said we needed to get him to the hospital. I think it was 18 so we are back at the hospital. Kayden has to lay under an Ultra Bili Light. He LOVES it. He is chillin' in his little clothe sunglasses and relaxing in the rays.

For those of you who don't know what Jaundice is a simple meaning is: Yellowing of the skin, whites of the eyes (sclerae), and other tissues because of excessive bilirubin in the blood.

I know it was no fun (and maybe even a little scary) but he does look really cute with those "sunglasses" on :)
