Quick Trip to the ICU

Lunch while we awaited bilirubin lab results.

Yesterday Felix had an appointment in Ontario, about an hour from where we're staying. Unfortunately his jaundice was worse and we were given strict instructions to report to the hospital for an overnight stay for some light therapy. The pediatrician was great and arranged for us to stay at a hospital local to our friends' house, so that helped immensely when organizing food, clothing and milk supplies. We could have stayed as long as 2 days, but thankfully Felix responded really well and we were discharged this afternoon. He hated being naked, blindfolded and laying still under those lights, so it was a long night for both of us. The worst part was having to put him back on the table after each feeding - he'd cry hard like I had just betrayed him in the cruelest way possible.

Tomorrow Uncle Brian and Auntie Jill are coming to meet Felix for the first time, then it'll be on to a "normal" weekday schedule while we await paperwork to return to Oregon. Good times!
