Our little Chloe Marie has jaundice. Her levels before we left the hospital were 10.2 so Chloe's doctor, Dr. Beck, wanted us to get her blood tested the day after we were discharged. When we had her tested the next day, her levels were 15.something. That was really discouraging. Dr. Beck had a light sent over for her to wear that will help clear it up and wanted us to get her blood taken again today. After being on the light all evening and night last night, her jaundice levels are still at 15. We were very pleased to find out that it hadn't gotten any worse and that Dr. Moser (the doctor in office today) isn't too concerned about it, thank the Lord! We're supposed to have her wearing the light all day today, half the day tomorrow, and then we'll have her blood tested again on Monday morning. While Dr. Moser isn't too concerned, he wants us to take advantage of the light while we have it to clear up her jaundice quicker.
Here's a couple pics of our "little glow worm" as we've been calling her while she's got the light on.

Mmm, yummy
Thank you everyone for all your prayers as we've welcomed this little girl into our lives. They're greatly appreciated, just as all of you are. We love and are thankful to have you all in our lives.
