Sadie has started her light therapy for jaundice. She has two bright lights shining down on her making her look like she's in a tanning booth. They measured her bilirubin level and it was at 13.9 and the lights will get this level down. It's nothing serious, just something preemie's have to deal with since their livers usually aren't working at 100% yet.
A little before noon Liz was able to take off the CPAP and graduate Sadie to a nasal cannula. So far Sadie has been doing great keeping her oxygen saturation levels where they should be.
Sadie also had her last dose of indocin. Now it's time to wait for the indocin to work and close the hole in her heart.
Jen had her staples removed and replaced with steri-strips. She's also doing very well. We are in the process of figuring out when exactly we'll leave for home today.
