Beginning on Tuesday, July 2nd Piper spend the next 24 hours under the photo-therapy light for jaundice. She hated it because she had to be naked and chilly and had to wear that annoying eye mask. She could only come out long enough to nurse then head back under the light. None of us liked it either since we couldn't hold her. She was really only pacified if you stood next to her and let her hold a finger which I did for a few hours while Jeremy went to play 2 softball games. I even let her sleep in the nursery Tuesday night so they could deal with the unhappy baby while I got some sleep. The nurse brought her to me every 3 hours to feed. But by Wednesday morning her bilirubin levels were much better and she was done!
