At about 3PM this afternoon, we finally got Joshua home...after a quick pit stop at In N Out for a celebration lunch :-). He loved his ride home in the car seat. Of course, he really didn't experience it since he was out like a light.
His bilirubin levels had been at about 19 (I think 14 or less is normal) and so he had been under the light for practically a full 24 hours. But this morning, his levels had dropped to about 13 which the nurses said was really good for just a day of phototherapy. So, we got to take him home sooner than I think they might have expected. That was a blessing.
He's now sleeping peacefully in the car seat (inside of course!) until his next feeding at which point, we'll likely put him in the bassinet or something. To be honest, I'm not sure...it's not so much taking it one day at a time as one hour at a time. But we'll make each hour count as best as we know how.
We thank our Lord Jesus Christ for this huge blessing and pray that He will be glorified through this new life and in how we raise him. Joshua is truly a gift from the Lord!
Oh and yes yes...pictures are coming...one thing at a time...sheesh!!
