Jaundice

Ethan's jaundice level has gone down a little from 12.6 mg last Thurs to 12.1 mg this afternoon.

A decline in value should mean ER is now safe. It should not be going up again. We're to monitor him and if he's still looking yellow by end of his first month, we'll bring him back for bloodtest again. His is most likely a case of breastfeeding jaundice so it's less worrisome.

Thank God there hasn't been a need to admit him. We pray the yellow-ness will go away soon!
