Jaundice and Nursing

Today’s achievement is successfully feeding several times without the bottle. We learned about infant massage as well. His skin rash has cleared up.

Asher does have a slightly elevated bilirubin count and is moving into an isolet box that will keep his lights on to treat jaundice. Again, a very normal preemie condition.

My new blood pressure meds are working almost too well. I have been on the rather low end of the range and am moving slowly. However, my pain level is well under control and I can reach my toes at least while sitting.

Later this evening we hope to finally get to do our first bath for Asher.
