Well. after 4 days at home I noticed Skyler's eyes and face looked yellow....so I called the doc and he sent me to the pathologist for a Jaundice bloodtest. I got a call later during the day and the doctor frantically told me to take him immediately to the neonatal intensive care unit.His billirubin count was 396...four points away from having a full blood transfusion!They immediately undressed him and started phototherapy on him.I was hysterical.I never thought it could be this bad.The hospital administrator was asking questions for billing purposes and I could barely answer them through all the tears.I barely left the hospital. I stayed next to his incubator and breastfed him every 3 hours. I changed his nappies...everything. The nurse just had to switch on those lights that will make our baby healthy. He looked so fragile with all the stickers that is connected to heart and breathing monitor on him.He stayed there for 3 nights and looked much better when we left but it's an experience I wouldnt want to have repeated.He came so close to almost not making it...I'm just so glad it's over. He has gained 800g in the last 4 days since we left the hospital and is recovering at a good speed!

Karen I have been in my own lil world lately & had no idea (shamfully) that this had gone on!

I am so glad to see some good outcome from your post though & your lil man is a strong boy for his Mummy.

Congratulations on his arrival x x

Congrats on your new arrival. You sound like you a pleasant experience (as can be at least).

I'm sorry to hear the heartache you had to go through because of the jaundice though. Hope Skyler is much better now.
