Ava was a bit too jaundice when we got her home and had to have a light blanket to help her bilirubin counts return to normal. She had to keep the blanket wrapped around her all the time. It was a bit of a pain because we could only go so far away from the machine because of the hose that connected it. Getting her to sleep that night was also a bit interesting, but we did it. The blanket has done it's job and as of now she is off of it. Dr. Rocco will do one more blood draw (hopefully) on Wednesday and determine if we need to keep the machine for more treatments.
