Yesterday when I went in for a follow up appointment with Samuel, his bili rubin was up to a 17.7 Because of this they have set Sam up with photothearapy. We have to go back to the hospital each day for him to be tested until he is back down below 13. Today he was down to a 16.6 Although it makes things a little difficult and we don't get to hold him as much as I would like, it is so nice that we can do this from home. I dont know if you can tell in this picture, but the suitcase tanning bed thing, is in a play pen in the baby room. He is doing much better with the bed today and is slowly doing better. Hopefully it won't be long before it is all better.

Rebecca,
Hang in there! When Judd first came home from the NICU, he too had photo therapy at home. Judd did not like the "sleeping bag" but things got better. I know you want to hold Samuel more but the day will be here soon. Glad to know you are both home.
Have a great weekend.
Julie
