Doc says I need a tan




Today has been an emotional roller coaster . Micah took 30 ml of formula at his 11 o'clock feeding and then 35 ml at his 2 o'clock feeding. But then they decided that he needed a suntan. His bilirubin was elevated and he wasn't keeping his body temperature up so they have put him in an incubator with sunlight. There was a little problem with his body temperature at his 5 o'clock feeding so they would not let me hold him nor feed him which was heartbreaking but when we went back at 8 o'clock I was able to hold him and feed him. He did really good at his last feeding and took 40 ml. FYI - he has to take 40 ml multiple times before he can come home so we were really excited. Please keep us in your prayers. I am exhausted from a very long day. I will update again tomorrow.
