Well, we're not done with the phototherapy yet. I took Alexander to IMC for a blood draw and his level has gone back up to 19.something. So we're doing the phototherapy at home just like we did with Christie and Jordan. We got a bilibed again--it looks a little like a table with the lights underneath. It has a little jacket thingie to keep Alexander stable and warm. It's nice because we don't have to watch him constantly to be sure the light doesn't get in his eyes.
Tomorrow we go back to IMC for another blood draw. I hope it doesn't take too long to get his bilirubin down to where it needs to be. Jordan spent about 3 weeks doing phototherapy and I think Christie took almost that long too.

That sounds like quite the ordeal! I hope he gets better quickly and you don't have to worry about the bilibed much longer!!
am I to guess this is a reincarnation of Alexander the great? Congrats on the boy steven. Now you can hedge your bets on at least one playing football at BYU :)
