Glow Worm


Miles has been jaundice... so we went to the doctor for way too many
blood draws in his first week. His poor little heels are like pin cushions.
We used a biliblanket or phototherapy light to help bring his bilirubin levels down.

It makes him look like a little glow worm.

But no complaints from this guy... he'll pretty much sleep through anything.

We last had Miles bilirubin levels checked on Friday and they were low enough to stop using the biliblanket. And he looks less yellow now so we're sure he's over the jaundice.
We'll go back to the doctor tomorrow for a check up.

  1. Oh...look at that sweet little face! Glad he's past the jaundice stage. I think he's starting to look more like Cooper with each picture. The comparison of baby pictures a couple of blogs ago was adorable!!
