Bring in the Grow Light
Andrew’s bilirubin test came back. His levels were pretty high, so they sent us home with a glow light. Andrew didn’t mind it at first, but I think he is getting tired of it now. The doctor told us to keep him in the light when we’re not feeding or changing him. It’s been tough on all of us, because we can not hold him as much as we would like to. We go to the hospital this morning to have another blood test done. Audrey and I hope that things will be back to normal.
In other news, Alex is a great big brother. When Alex wakes, the first thing he asks about is baby brother. He wants to take him downstairs with him to play. We have to keep reminding Alex that it will be a while before Andrew can play. Alex also wants to give Andrew toys to play with. We’ve had to show Alex the kinds of toys he can give to Andrew. Alex is amazingly gentle with Andrew, and loves rubbing his head and kissing him. I must savor these moments, because I know one day they will be at each others throats. :)
I will update the site when we have the test results.
