Thanks Daisy! I am trying to. Typically I probably would have been camped out at the hospital with them, but I have had to come home to rest. I get sooo exhausted lately.
Yep my surgery is in 18 days from today..the 28th. Looking forward to some kind of normalcy returning to life one of these days!

Hey veronica! Thanks so much for the well wishes! Get a list of questions together that you would like to ask, and we can talk anytime now, except for Monday. Let me know when you are available and would like to talk.
Hugs!

Poor little Braxton!  And poor momma!  I know how scary that is!  2 of my babies had high Bilirubin counts (One baby I brought home with me on a bili blanket and then the other baby had to stay in the hospital under the lights) but if someone would have SAID "Jaundice" to me for the first baby, I would have understood.  I had no clue what high bilirubin meant and thought something was wrong!  I called my BFF who is a L&D Nurse and she calmed me down and told me it was just Jaundice, then I understood and realized it was something that could be fixed!  LOL!  But as a mom, it's so scary to have your little one have it.

Hopefully Braxton will be home soon!
Jennifer - Starting the whole process all over again and ready this time!

Yeah, she was definately scared. His level came down enough today that they let him come home early this afternoon. YEAY!!! Mom is thrilled and so is grammy!

Both of my kids had it too. With my second i was the one who told them, he sure is glowing... and he had to stay 2 extra days under the lights. I cried and cried, because they wouldn't let me stay, as he has to stay in the nursery. I had no car then, I was so heartbroken.

 Congratulations on this beautiful boy!  I am so sorry he you all had to go through the jaundice thing.  I had two babies that had it really bad and were hospitalized and it is so stressful, but I'm glad he has made it home and his billiruban levels are heading in the right direction.
