Yay! Good bilirubin check

Christina_Diane

LO is coombs positive and was discharged from the hospital with a 9 for the bilirubin and then it was a 13.9 and we went AMA and didn't get more blood work done last weekend. Today it was 4.8. Woohoo! I can finally stop walking him up every 2-3 hours all the time to eat.

Congrats!  We were dealing with high bili levels as well.  We had to take him in the day after he was discharged to check again.  They said it was still a little high, but thankfully we didn't have to keep going back for tests nor did we have to do the lights or the blankets.  I will appreciate the day that we don't have to wake him up to eat too.  I think he'd go at least 4 hrs between feedings if we'd let him!
