No fun...




You may have noticed in some of Simon's pictures that he is almost as orange as an Oompa-Loompa. His jaundice spiked to 19 on Monday so we have to lay him under the lights. He has been the perfect baby so far because he loves to be held and cuddled so much that he didnt cry. We can't hold him when he is on the lights so that makes him pretty sad. He got checked today and his levels were still high, but going down. Hopefully tomorrow he will drop down low enough to come off the lights. At least this light machine makes him feel a little bit dressed since it has a front and sleeves for him - some of them are like tanning beds they have to lie in just in their diapers. Wish Simon a speedy recovery!

Ah man I'm sorry! I do like his lights better than him laying all exposed in the diaper. They hate that!

Ohh he is still so cute. Thats great that they have a cover. They didn't have that when mine needed lights. We're praying for you all!

We are praying for little Simon. That is a really cool machine! I am just in love with his hair!! It looks like he will always have a "cool" hairstyle like Gabe :).
