Kyden's first 24 hours with the UV light wasn't bad at all. It's comfortable to him and I'll bet he likes the warmth of the light on his back. Jonathan and Cicily came over this morning to help out so we could catch up on some sleep. We have a follow up appt with the doctor today for Kyden's Jaundice levels. Either way, the Doctor will probably have us keep Kyden on the light at least one more night. He's doing great though. The poor thing was circumcised yesterday, but he took it like a champ. I'm proud of my little man.

So we received some good news today at Kyden's follow up visit with Dr. Greenberg. Typically, the levels of billirubin levels are expected to go up as the baby gets older. Kyden's second day he was at a 11.5 intermediate/high risk; yesterday his level wa at 15.6, but today he is at 15.1 which is great news. The doctor said to have lil Ky (cool rap name) on the light for 12 hours tonight and we're hoping that's the last of the high Jaundice levels in his blood.
Cicily is an amazing person. We are so greatful that she's been so willing and availabe (thanks to a bad economy with no jobs) to help us get adjusted to our new lives. She cooked us dinner tonight, and took care of Kyden while we tried to catch up on some sleep. We love you, Cicily.
What a cute boy! Cicily is amazing! I miss her help but I guess it's someone else's turn. :) Miss you guys!
