Our Bili Baby

Carson has been slowly fighting off jaundice. We had heard of jaundice, but who knew it could be such a big deal. He had a count of 18 then 19, then 16 and now 14. So we were instructed to put a bili blanket on him for the last few days. It has been helping lots. But here are some photos of him before the blankie and with the blankie. The machine is kinda a pain, but worth it.

hey, you're doing great with the bili blanky. It sounds like Carson is on his way to jaundice free living. Hooray for technology. Good job Holly, and I love the new pictures.

Holly I think Carson is so cute. I am glad that the bili worked for you guys. Hope to be able to see you soon.

Sterling had jaundice...I just thought he had olive complexioned skin (yeah right his parents are as white as can be!!!) I felt so bad taking him into te doctor every other day so they could poke his foot...no fun hearing your baby crying and there is nothing you can do about it. I am glad the bili blanket is working. He is adorable and we will make it over to your house someday to see him!!!

Hey Holly & Jace! It's the Berry's!! Congrats on your new little guy. He's so darn cute!

Sorry to hear he had Jaundice. We know all about that ALL 5 of our kids have had it. Addison was the worst. It took her about a week to get it out of her system. And being in this little town we had to stay at the hospital no bili blankets for us. Glad he's doing better.
Hope you don't mind my reading your blog. Talk to you later.
