Will was readmitted to hospital on Monday morning as his jaundice spiked. The jaundice is quite common in premies, so we didn’t worry too much. He spent all day Monday and Tuesday morning in phototherapy. The hospital took him off the lights for the afternoon to see how he would do and his levels kept dropping so he is a real star and was home by 6:30 pm. The nice thing about this visit was that he received a beautiful baby quilt from being in the special care unit at the hospital. The Ottawa Valley quilters make the quilts for all the little ones admitted to the unit. Lucy has one as well, because she spent time there as a premie.
Now the family can get down to learning what life is like in a house of four (all under one roof). Hope Heather gets some rest.
Lucy’s comment yesterday when she got home from day-care: “Where’s William?” -- not impressed that he was back in hospital. She was delighted when Heather came home from the hospital with Will tonight . . . she ran to the car to help her Mom bring him in, then she wanted to take him visiting to the neighbours. She’s going to be a big help.
