we came home on thursday and had a nice quiet morning waiting for the doc to come check us out. Scarlett has developing a splendid newborn rash from having the phototherapy (bilirubin lights) while in the hospital to prevent jaundice.
Scarlett tested positive for coombs, which puts her at a higher risk for jaundice. the bili lights expose her skin to light, which helps break down the biliruben in her body. hopefully with her being on the lights all throughout our hospital stay she won't need them when we get home, because her poor little heel has been pricked enough.
we are just excited to take Scarlett home!
