Well, Lucas is back on Bili lights. His levels just aren't dropping, in fact yesterday they had gone back up a point to 12. I have to say, having a 4 day old on lights is way easier than a 2 week old! He cried a ton last night. I ended up feeding him every hour and a half, and only pushed it to that by using a pacifier. Needless to say, I got very little sleep last night. Today we have to go down and get some more blood work done to check his level again and see if there is a major cause to his extended elevated levels.
So now he is finally asleep nicely on the lights and, of course, the other 2 little boys are wide awake! Hopefully tonight is better!

Sorry to hear about your rough night. Hope everything gets better with the little guy. And that you are able to get a little sleep.
So sorry to hear about your tough night. I know how that goes, My second son had to do the bili blanket at home for a week and the part I hated the most was all the blood test for two weeks, it seemed like it was every other day :( I hope tonight goes alot better for you guys. Hang in there.
Hang in there Chris! it'll get better for sure! Hope you're able to get some rest, but as a mother myself...I know you'd do it every night in a heartbeat! take care !
