Evelynn - free from the UV blanket

Evey worked hard over the weekend and got her bilirubin level down to 13.9 on Monday, so we got to stop the UV blanket Monday. And on Tuesday she got it down to 12.9, we had to do a follow up lab work to check for a rebound. So, now she is free from the blanket and can be picked up when ever we want, yay!!!

The top picture is of Dad and Evey hanging out, which is much easier now that the UV blanket is gone. The second picture is of Evey and her Tigger Toy :)

The video is of Evey right after a sponge bath. Had to do it one limb at a time so she didn't know it was a sponge bath, as she doesn't approve of them. In the video she has a new outfit on and is ready to take on the day. Of course at the end of the video she lets you know her opinion of that, you may need to listen closely but you can hear it ;)

More Evelynn Picts

Hi, the last few days have been a bit of a blur so we haven't gotten much of a chance to put up picts. But here they are :D. She has a bit of Jaundice and has to use a UV blanket when she's not eating or being changed :(, but at least she got to come home with us. Her bilirubin has been dropping so hopefully she can stop using it on Monday or Tuesday so we can hold her more often. Besides that Evelynn is doing well and is eating great. She has periods of lots of activity and then lots of sleep. She doesn't care for being changed or getting a sponge bath, but likes seeing faces and listening to what you have to say.

The first picture is of Dad, Evey and Sampson, before we got the UV blanket, just relaxing on the couch (2/4/09). The second picture is of Evey the day we left hospital, wearing her first non-hospital outfit (2/3/09). The third picture is of Evey in her coat and car seat, getting ready to go home (2/3/09). The fourth picture is of Evey during her second day, 2/2/09. The movie at the end is from today, 2/7/09.
