Spencer went back to the hospital lab this morning for yet another heal prick/blood draw. Our hope was that the results would show that his jaundice is coming to an end. The doctor said that they like to see test results in the range of 10 - 12 and a score of 20 or above would result in a trip to the hospital. Spencer's score on Wednesday was 17 - not high enough to require going to the hospital, but higher than anyone wanted it to be. His score on today's blood test was a 13! So......so long yellow glow and hello rosy pink cheeks! We see the pediatrician next week for his routine 2 week newborn checkup which will give the doctor another opportunity to verify everything is still looking great. As far as Spencer is concerned, aside from people mistaking his foot for a pincushion, his days are pretty much the same......eat, sleep, diaper change and sleep some more!
