Enough of the hospital!!!

Well, if you read the last post, you guys know we had a few extra days in the hospital this weekend for some phototherapy to get the billirubin levels down. Addison "sunbathed" under the blue light for 24 hours while mom watched her scream. There were a few calm moments, but what broke my heart were these darn shades she had to wear. I wasn't allowed to take them off, even when she fed. Saturday was probably the worst night of them all....but I got threw it knowing that Sunday morning we could go home....or so we thought.
I finally had enough of the blue light and took her out for a few minutes of bonding time. Sunday morning, our test showed the numbers had gone down, so we packed up the car, got her in her going home outfit, went over the discharge with the nurse, and waiting around for the Dr.
This was Addison's reaction when they told us we couldn't go home yet. Mine was close to the same.
Daddy had to console his two girls quite a bit. But finally....at 5pm on Sunday after 5 days in the hospital, we were given the ok to go home!!!
