Wow, Day 5.
Alex continues to do well. But last night his Billirubin levels went up to 10.5. So, they’ve started double light therapy with him. He’s basically getting light from both a light blanket and a therapy light. They’ve got him basically naked. In fact, when I went in this morning, he was laying with his naked butt up in the air for everyone to see.
It starting to sound like he’ll be here for at least 3-4 more days to get his levels under control. It could be longer, or it could be shorter. We’re going to prepare for it to be soon, though. In the past it seems like they say “we’re not sure… it’ll be a while yet” and then all of a sudden say “well, ready to go home now?”
He was much more alert when he was awake today. He was looking back and forth between his Mom and I, which was very cool
