We just want to go home.
Well, another day here at the hospital. Yippee.
We thought we were going home today, but at this point, it isn’t looking very promising. Little Abby’s bilirubin levels are up, so for today she gets the movie star treatment: under the lights, with the shades on.
We may be able to go home tonight, but we are not sure at this point. Plus, by the time she is done under the lights and we get the tests back, it might be too late to even consider going home anyway.
Another day in this lovely room — I’m so excited. Not really. But at least we know we will get to go home soon and be able to get back in the groove of things.
Little Abby: Movie star, munchkin, and kid extroadinaire. The glasses they have to wear when they are under the lights are awesome.

Good luck, hopefully you will be able to go home soon. I don’t think I have ever been so careful driving, as I did when I drove my daughter home for the first time.
I hope those tests come back good! The hospital is nice for a day or two (at least for me it was – I think hubby got bored but he wouldn’t leave us and go do something else either…) but by the 4th day I was ready to go home so I understand!
I know you are ready to go, but try to let Jen get some rest while there. Once you leave, there will be no nurses to help…
I am sure you all will be home soon.
For all of us that DON’T have a medical degree…
Bilirubin (formerly referred to as hematoidin) is the yellow breakdown product of normal heme catabolism. Heme is formed from hemoglobin, a principal component of red blood cells. Bilirubin is excreted in bile, and its levels are elevated in certain diseases. It is responsible for the yellow colour of bruises and the yellow discolouration in jaundice. Bilirubin reduction in the gut leads to a product called urobilinogen which is then oxidized to urobilin which is excreted in the urine.
Hope all is well. I know that that stuff is nerve racking. Hang in there you will be a better man when it is over.
Damn it Reggie Bush will you score a fricken’ touchdown so I can go to bed.
God Bless..
Breaking out of the hospital will be all the sweeter when they give you the “Go” signal.
Best wishes to all of you when get to go home and start the adjustment period.
