General Hospital

We had a rough weekend :( On Friday, Sara Louise was very lethargic and wasn't eating well, so we took her to the doctor who said she had jaundice and that her levels were fairly high. We were given a machine to provide phototherapy at home, but unfortunately it didn't help with her eating. By Sunday, the doctor feared Sara Louise may be dehydrated, so he had us go to the hospital. We spent the night (Nick and I in a twin bed!) and she was given IV fluids, as well as continued phototherapy. Sweet Sara Louise was such a trooper- she cried a bit when she got her IV, but other than that she was her usual sweet self. We called her our little 'glow worm'- the phototherapy 'blankets' are flourescent lights and they lit her up! Her poor little arm was barely big enough for the IV needles! After a night of eating better, we went home. The pictures above show that apparently Mom and Dad have differing ideas of how to make their daughter feel better-- Dad gives "daddy kisses" to soothe his little girl, while Mom gives Sara Louise a manicure! She's made good progress and we hope to have a good report from the doctor tomorrow!
