i had to take Scarlett in on saturday to get her bili level checked, and i got a call from the on call doctor letting me know her bili count was way to high and needed to have lights ordered to be brought to my house.
the lights were delivered and in no time at all Scarlett was catching some much needed rays. she had to be in there at all times except when I fed her. she didn't like being in the bed so much, and it would take forever to get her settled back in. she was under the lights for an entire week! the doctor thinks she had breastfeeding jaundice as well, so it was much harder to get the biliruben out of her body, so i fed her formula along with breastfeeding. it was torture keeping her in that bed, but once the therapy was complete we were all shouting hooray!
