jaundice update

asher's jaundice level was 15.8 today. it was 15.6 yesterday. this is really getting frustrating! we got him in the sun twice already today and the rest of the time he's been tethered to the bili-light. he's still eating like a champ, obviously since he gained another 1.5 ounces since yesterday...i just wish he could get off this light. we're still going to the e.l. concert series on friday to hear brandon and laura play and going to riv on saturday whether they want us to stay on the light or not. i need to get out soon or i'll go crazy! plus, i know he's healthy and doing great. since he's got tons of energy and a healthy appetite, i know he's doing well...if he wasn't so hungry or if he was lethargic, i'd be more concerned...but maybe we won't have to worry about the weekend. maybe he'll be down to 14 by friday. they're giving him a day off on the blood draws. thanks goodness. his poor heals look so bad. our next draw will be thursday. we also have an appointment with the doc on thursday...so we'll see what she thinks.

these past few weeks have been so crazy. i never thought we'd ever be taking our child to the doctor so much in his first year! it's kinda frustrating! at least they're not pumping him with formula or antibiotics though. i want him to stay clear of antibiotics for as long as possible.

will post more pictures soon. he's already growing so much!
