Here is our naked little man. McKade had to be under the billi lights for several days because his billirubin was too high. This was awful because he hated the goggles and would get so pissed when we tried to put them on.
This was our solution. I would have to feed him and when he was asleep i would put him in the lights wrapped up to let him settle down than turn on the lights and unwrap him. He didn't like to be unwrapped if I put him in unwrapped. Than I used a burp cloth to shield his eyes because it wasn't working with the goggles. It was hard having to do the lights because I couldn't get much rest because someone has to watch him constantly and Paul had to work off and on so I couldn't "sleep when he sleeps" like they tell you to.
This was our last attempt before ditching the goggles and using the burp cloth. He would calm down for a second but start screaming again. Guess we all ready know who rules the roost around here.
One of too way many trips to the hospital for his billirubin to be checked. think it was harder on me and Paul to have to take him and have his heel stuck because his cry was sooo sad when they stuck him.
He is such a cuddly little guy and cuddles with daddy, so sweet. Paul is so funny because he was always worried he was hurting him when he holds him like this and is always asking "is he ok?"
i know how it feels with the billi lights and having to go in for tests. i'd had enough of them. i swear i was seeing blue/purple lights for days after having to try to sleep with that thing in the room. so glad that is over.
ReplyDeleteyour little guy is so cute. i can't believe how light his hair is.
