Good morning,
Well we are off to the start of another bright and sunny California day here at El Camino Hospital. The Dr just came in to see us with our daily update. Turns out Logan is working on getting a suntan already. His Billirubin levels were a bit higher last night, which can be pretty normal from what it sounds like. His level this morning was 12.5 which is still pretty moderate; definitely not severe at all, but since he is pretty young they want him to get some photo light therapy to help out his liver process all of Kt's blood which is a different blood type than his. It can be a couple factors though that can cause him to be a bit jaundiced such as not eating, filtering blood type and a slightly underdeveloped liver. Hes coming along strong though and should be back up to speed soon. All this is more precautionary measures than necessity too, so what we do now will help him out once he gets home...
BTW, Logan already got his first A+ from his old man. Everyone better remember that his first one was from me, because if he ends up anything like me it might be his last... haha
Anyway, they are going to keep him under the light for as much today as possible, and shoot for a late discharge this evening. We're pretty optimistic, but obviously want to do whats best for Logan so if we stay another day its no big deal.
Kt is doing much better today too. The breast feeding is coming along well and they are both syncing this process down to a T.
Uncle Boudie stopped over yesterday to see him for a quick visit but we forgot to get any pics, so will have to catch him on the flip side next month.
I'm in the process of creating a monster to-do list for myself while I am off for the couple weeks from work too, so will be able to keep myself pretty busy hopefully so that I stay outta trouble... hehe
until later....
