Burke Comes Home

Wheeling Rachel out of the hospital. Sorry for the size of the pics you'll have to click on each one to make them larger.






The Ride Home. Dad is driving slow.



Burke Makes it Home Safe.




We have had a couple issues to complicate the coming home party. Rachel's wound has opened up a little and needs special care and trips to the doc. Burke has Jaundice and has to spend all of his time under the UV lights. Luckily we were able to get a home unit and watch him. We just have to watch his temp every 15 minutes and make sure the pads don't come off the eyes which loves to move.



Great News!!!! After just one very long night under the lights Burke's bilirubin levels are coming down. Six more hours today and he can come off the lights! Way to go buddy!

  5. Congrats on your home coming! Sorry you had to deal with the bili lights, but glad it's not taking to long. We had to do the same thing with Tyler. The first week or two is the hardest - learning to feed, setting up life with a baby. It gets easier and you are going to have so much fun. Heal well and enjoy letting others help!
