Day Three in the NICU

Jack lost another three ounces he is down to 3 pounds and 12 ounces.  The nurses still say this is nothing to be concerned about.  Jack is under the lamps because he has developed jaundice.  He looks so sweet laying there with his little eyes covered.  He keeps trying to pull his shades off.  I think he is just flirting with his nurse.  His levels got up to 17.8 and if they reach 18 they will have to give Jack a blood transfusion.  Praise the Lord when we went back late last night the levels had dropped to 15.8.  Brian watched them take blood from Jack and daddy was not a happy camper.  He was not pleased that they had to squeeze little Jack's foot to get the blood out.  Daddy is already protecting little guy.  Jack got 7 cc's of food last night via his feeding tube.  He isn't strong enough to feed yet from my breast of bottle but he will soon.  He is a little fighter and mommy and daddy are so proud of him!
