Jaundice

So...our little guy is a little yellow (jaundiced) and so we are still here in the hospital! My blood and his blood are incompatible so it is causing him a wee bit of trouble, he's getting jaundice much quicker than a normal newborn with jaundice so they are watching his blood levels really closely. I am waiting on the docs to come in and let me know the plan, if he has to start therapy or not and if we can do the therapy (phototherapy lights) at home or if we have to stay here. So, we'll know pretty soon what the plan is. As of now I have him naked in the sunlight because that works kind of like the phototherapy lights. Here are a couple pics of him getting his "sun tan". Hope it works!!!!!
