At Ethan's first check up, we found out that Ethan's bilirubin doubled since being discharged from the hospital. So for 3 days straight, we had to take Ethan to the doctor to monitor his bilirubin level. This meant he had to get blood drawn everyday. I couldn't bear to watch him get his blood drawn, Ricky had to be the strong one.
His bilirubin kept climbing up and he was admitted on Saturday to the hospital for photo therapy. It was a little difficult seeing the little guy lying in the tanning bed with his little goggles and we weren't able to hold him. We were relieved after 16 hrs in the light, his bili came down within the normal range and he was discharged from the hospital this afternoon.
