We went home from the hospital knowing that Amélie had high bilirubin levels that would need to be checked on Friday night. It was still high so it had to be checked Saturday morning. Still high so Saturday morning they delivered a bilirubin light/case. Because her levels were so high she would have to stay it all day. Let's just say Robert had to deal with two very hysterical girls yesterday. Thankfully my mom came into town last night and took a turn trying to calm the baby. Up until yesterday she had barely been put down it was horrible. She just cried and screamed. But this morning her bilirubin levels are down. She still has to have some time in the case/torture chamber but hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Ah, a spa day! Kerst and Kendall had several days of spa treatment in the NICU. Kerst even had to have 2 different treatments!
So glad your Mom could be there to help.
Oh, man, that is rough! That thing doesn't look very comfy- I can understand her indignation. But it is pretty cool that you could bring it home and didn't have to stay in the hospital an extra day or two.
I'm glad your mom was there to help. There were definitely times with Isobel when I just had to pass her off to somebody more experienced and take a breather.
