Hearing test and jaundice

Sorry for no update yesterday, I left my camera at the hospital last night. Never mind a double update today.

Yesterday was another good day at the hospital with Holly feeding well and Meeks getting a fair bit of rest over night. In the afternoon Holly had her hearing test which pleasingly she passed. Here is a photo with all the paraphernalia attached to her for the test

You may or may not be able to tell from the photo above, but she started to show a bit of jaundice yesterday. So today Holly had a blood test and it confirmed she needed some treatment. Neonatal Jaundice is fairly common in newborns affecting over 50% of babies in the first week of life according to Wikipedia. The treatment is putting the baby under blue lights. As you can imagine this creates some difficulty for photographing! Anyway, these are what I could come up with. She is very cute, even under these conditions!

She got some cool eye covers with a picture of sunnies on them to protect her eyes and help her to sleep as the light is quite bright. She will be under the blue light for 24 hours and then they will do another test to confirm she's okay. The negative is that she wont be able to come home first thing tomorrow morning as hoped. If the test tomorrow comes back is okay, she and Meeks will be able to come home tomorrow afternoon. We're all crossing our fingers, Meeks wants to be home and we all want her and Holly to come home!
