Andrew had high bilirubin levels and we ended up having to stay at the hospital longer than we wanted to because they wanted to keep him under the lights until they went down. I hope Liam's go down soon - it's nice that you can have him at home at least! -------------------- Sara ~ Wife to Scott, Mommy to Andrew 6-12-05, Alison 2-20-07, and our angel in heaven 4-20-06

But, as was mentioned before, at least you are home! -------------------- Mary :) a.k.a. Jake & Erin's mom

They put a mask over his eyes and all my husband said was "He looks like Batman!". I'm sure your little one's level's will go down soon. This post has been edited by Marissa on Sep 13 2010, 11:46 AM
