Yes, my kid had to wear that glowing green blanket for jaundice too.
@Unclebaldrick What a cute baby! I will say it again. I love looking/holding other folks babies, but I'm done done done.
@Unclebaldrick When do you get to all go home? Any new news?
I guess these days they go with the UV LEDs. I asked about it and they work quicker than the blankets.
Thanks, we like him a lot.
I think he will come home Tuesday. Holly's back home but we spend about 80% of the day with the kid. Today we came home for a couple hours and one of our cats, a female, was checking her out from top to bottom. Despite the fact that she showed no signs of even acknowledging the pregnancy, she was completely enraptured with the baby smell on Holly. It was if she was saying "I know you have a baby - I can smell it. Where's that baby?". It was kind of like bringing a new cat in and having to quarantine it for ten days. So I guess he will have a surrogate mommy when he gets home. The boy cat will probably be more excited when the baby is old enough to play with him. The girl cat, who is a bit older, will probably like him best as a baby.
All his tests have been great lately, so we we feeling pretty good. He's starting to make eye contact with us. Yesterday he was more about checking out lighting and shapes. His eyes are this ridiculously dark gray, but we figure they will probably change. But thy are pretty cool right now. He keeps whapping himself with his IV which is attached to his right hand like an arm splint, and he kind of sings like a whale when he sleeps sometimes. I've been feeling coldish lately so I am wearing a surgical mask. I miss being able to kiss his ridiculously soft baby-skin.
We're feeling pretty fortunate right now.
Oh and cabbage leaves work well too, cooks the cabbage right on there. Owie boobs suuuuck
