Spencer's Tanning Bed


Spencer's new hobby is tanning..ha ha jk. We went to the pediatrician today for his normal follow up appointment and Dr Rose says he is looking good, other than the jaundice. He had us go get another bili level done right after the appointment to see if his levels are going up. Lo and behold, they are going up. His level on Saturday was 9.8, Sunday was 15.7, and they didn't tell us what it was today, all they said was that it is still going up. Jaundice tends to peak at day 5, so by tomorrow hopefully they will start going down. He was on a bili blanket until today, and now the doctor has him in the bili suitcase that is in the picture. Hopefully it will work quickly so the poor kid can actually wear some of the outfits he got. Not that they fit him because he's so small, but it's still sad that he can't wear anything. I feel like everything I've learned in school is happening to me and Spencer. It's kinda a weird feeling.
