Andrew’s Hospital Photos
It’s been a few days since I updated everyone, so I thought I would log in this morning and post an update.
We had Andrew’s blood tested again on Monday. Originally before leaving the hospital, Andrew’s blood count was 18.5 mg/dl (Bilirubin is measured in milligrams per deciliter of blood). A couple days on the grow light brought his blood down to 15.5 mg/dl, but that was still a little high. We kept Andrew on the grow lights over the weekend, and we’re happy to say that as of Monday he was at 13 mg/dl. This is good, and we can take him off the grow lights. Yay!!
When I left for work this morning, Mommy and Andrew were cuddled up together getting some sleep. We’re really lucky with Andrew. He wakes every 2-3 hours for feeding, but other than that he sleeps. I can honestly say that since we’ve been home I have not been awaken by crying. [knock on wood]
To the right are the photos the hospital took before we left. We didn’t really think about it, but it probably wasn’t a good idea to put that blanket behind him. Andrew looks like he has Dumbo ears.

As I look at the wonderful pictures of Alex and Andy and David and Audrey I now know that having children is worth it. Love you guys, Grandma NaNa MeMe.
