More Labs

We went back for more lab work on Tuesday. Bilirubin level: 16.75... still too high



Nikki & Rodney came over Tuesday night for dinner. Parker was a little fussy and tired of being strapped to that blanket/wrap. Daddy tried just laying him on the blanket for a change.



Wednesday's Bilirubin level: 16   Down from the day before... looks like maybe this blanket works.

Thursday's Bilirubin level: 13.74   YES! Dr. Ray said we could stop the phototherapy but to continue waking Parker up for feedings every 2 hours during the day and 3 hours at night.  Repeat labs the next day to make sure the level didn't go back up without the phototherapy.



Pops had a doctor's appointment that afternoon, so Parker got a little love from Pops.


Friday's Bilirubin level: 12.7   SUCCESS! No more lab work for Parker :)
