Unfortunately we didn't escape jaundice again. Bryton's levels had raised since he was in the hospital and we had to do the bili lights for several days. Kolten had jaundice as well and we had a little suitcase looking thing that they brought over and we felt so bad putting him in it. He had to wear the little eye covers, but he did really well. Brytons lights were great! It was a unit that we could put right into his bassinet and lay him in it. It has a little sheet with arm hold that you are supposed to strap them in, but the cover just drowned Bryton. So we covered him up with a light blanket and let him get his tan! He didn't like the lights much and it was difficult to keep him in there all day. They also gave us a bili blanket that we could use when he was out of the bassinet so we were able to hold him a lot too. His levels are still pretty high but low enough that he doesn't need the lights anymore.
