Lily is off the bililights

Lily had another blood test today and her biliruben level dropped a little again to 11.9. Even though the drop is small, it is a great sign that the biliruben level is dropping without the lights. If it stayed the same or increased we would have to continue with the light treatment. The doctor said we can stop the light treatment and wait until Monday to check her again. Robbie is so happy he gets a day break from holding Lily's foot so they can draw blood from her heel. I usually stand in the hallway with Eli. It's so hard to hear her cry. Lily's weight is up to 6lbs 14oz, up 2 oz from yesterday. She may even make it to 7 lbs on Monday.
