We were all set to go home yesterday, but things would not be as planned. First of all, my blood pressue is still high from the delivery, so they wanted to keep me another day and up the blood pressure medicine to see if they can get it better under control. So, I was a little disappointed, but I could deal with it. Then, the pediatrician came in and said that Titus was jaundiced and needed to be put on the billi bed to keep his jaundice from getting too bad. He really doesn't like to be laid down so I knew it would be long day. He had his circumcision in the morning and then was made to lay in "billi jail" for the rest of the day. He did great in the morning, but by last night, he had had enough. And so had mommy. But, he made it through and this morning he has been bonded out. His billi rubin numbers dropped and he was released from jail. He has appeared to stop losing weight, and will hopefully start gaining again. He is such a trooper and I am so ready to take him home. We are still waiting on clearance from my doctor to go home, but we anticipate arriving at home this afternoon. I have attached a picture of Titus hanging out at the beach in his billi bed. Please continue to pray for my blood pressure to go down, that Titus would continue to eat well and for wisdom as we make parenting decisions. Thank you all for your love and support. We'll keep you updated as Titus grows. Titus can't wait to meet all of you.
