We felt that Mackenzie just didn't have enough color when she came home from the hospital, so we decided that she should start tanning.
Just kidding.
When we left the hospital, Kenzie had an elevated bilirubin, and it continued to increase over the next few days. As a method of treatment, we were exposing her to as much sun as we could, as sun breaks down bilirubin.
We spent everyday of our first week at home at the pediatrician's office getting Mackenzie's bilirubin checked. Unfortunately, this all happened during the big snow storm last week, and we were without sun for a couple of days, and her Bilirubin continued to increase. So the pediatrician ordered a bilibed for us to use at home for a couple of days until her levels started to come down.
Doesn't it look futuristic?
