jaundice update 2

We started off the day at the hospital again after taking shifts watching her all night...better news this time. She gained 3 ounces since the day before and her bilirubin level went down 3 points. Each day the threshold increases so getting the level to stay the same is a challenge and getting it to drop is wonderful. We were very happy about that. Later in the day, Callie Beth had her first doctors appt. He was very happy with her progress. We can take her off the biliblanket!!! We can actually let her sleep in the bassinet while Jake and I try to get some sleep. What a relief to not have her confined to her little bouncer with the light under her. I can actually pick her up and cuddle with her whenever I want! He wanted me continue to supplement with formula after breast feeding for one more day. Then, Saturday he wants me to give her the milk I have been pumping and then the next day try just breast feeding. Lets hope it goes smooth! We are so happy our little girl is getting better!
