Back in hospital.........

Thatcher is back at McKay Dee

Thatcher had jaundice before he left the hospital the first time, and he was sent home with lights. After a couple of days when he went back in for a checkup at one week old, his biliruben levels were lowered, and the doctor said to discontinue the lights. Now here we are a week and a half later, at his 2 1/2 week checkup, and when blood was drawn, the levels were EXTREMELY high. Right after CJ got home from the doctor, she received a phone call, and they wanted him back immediately, to be admitted to the pediatric unit (not NICU). That was about 2 o'clock this afternoon. He has been poked and prodded, blood drawn, IV fluids started, under the lights continuously, no breastmilk, and she can't even hold him to bottle feed the formula. He has little goggles of some sort, so his eyes will be okay as he is under the lights. They will know later tonight if his levels are dropping.  

On a better note - Landon and Kacey were able to bring Payson home from the hospital today.  Gee, it would be nice to have these two boys in Morgan at the same time ! :)
