Being home is great!!!
Rachel and I are blissfully tired :). Ricky has a cold on top of the new little one. Wes is doing great. He is eating good, pooping good and sleeping good, and that's about all babies do ;).
Today I am going to clean up the kitchen, pull off the chair rail, install a water line to the fridge, and do some rewiring. Fun, fun, fun :).
Hopefully Ricky will help me.
Oh, pictures are up of Wes at http://photos.johnsoax.com/

Home
So last night was rough. I was pretty sleepy on the drive home, and then Wes, having been isolated under the bili-light for two days, wanted to be cuddled and played with and fed all night long.
Rachel tells me that I got more sleep than she did, due to me falling asleep putting Ricky to bed.
Today is going well, we went and had the biliruben test this morning, and it is now at 11.1. Yesterday was at 11. But Dr Gill (our normal pediatrition) thinks everything looks good. He schedualed another biliruben and CDC (for the blood platelets) test for Friday, but if everything comes back good, we may not have to see the hemotologist at all. As Dr Gill said, "If all of your blood tests are normal, what is a hemotologist going to do?"
We also have another appointment with Dr Gill in a week. So we are having fun as a family now :).
Off for a family walk!!!!!
I should be getting the pictures up tonight.

We are coming home!!!!
The jaundus has gotten better. We went down 3 points, and he got
older, so unless it gets worse again, we are out of the danger zone.
older, so unless it gets worse again, we are out of the danger zone.
We have a Drs appointment tomorrow with our normal doctor!!
The hospital Dr gave us a choice, either stay one more night in the
hospital for the next billi-ruben test (jaundas), or go home and go to
St Mary's hospital in the morning to have the test. He didn't have a
preference. So which one do you think we chose ;).
We still have to set up the hemotologist appointment, but it won't be
till the 21st.
Pictures to follow tonight!!!!

New Update
Wes looks really good today. He has had lots of dirty diapers (best
way to clear up jaundus), and we are just awaiting the "official" test
results. Then he needs to be removed from the bili-light for 12 hours
with the jaundus not getting worse. So as far as we know, we may be
able to come home today.

Otherwise, I don't know what is going to happen. Ricky is staying
with my parents, and Mom only has so many vacation days to use for
this. I should be home for the whole week, but I have to confirm it
with my parents.
Please pray for our family.

Update on Wes
Saw the Dr. Unfortunately the jaundus hasn't changed, so we are stuck
here another day. Once that gets under control, we should be able to
go home.

go home.
On the platelet front, there was also no change, but we are going to
be refered to a hemotologist tomorrow. If there aren't any
appointments this week in Lima, we will get one in Dayton.
I'll keep you updated as things change.
