According to the agreements of my early discharge, I had to take Delaney to the pediatrician the day after Thanksgiving to have her bilirubin level rechecked. It was 7 when we left General. At the doctor's office it was 19. They admit anything over 16. So we headed to Children's because it has the only 24-hour tanning salon.
Things went well in comparison to Charlie's jaundice. He was there 3 days and his levels were as high as 24.
The hardest part was keeping the goggles on her eyes. Any patent people out there should look into redesigning these so the mom isn't constantly putting them back on or readjusting them, waking the already angry baby EVERY stinkin time. The one time I did fall asleep, I woke up to find them on her neck!
We were there from noon until 8am and were able to leave because she was down to 14.
