I just thought I would take a moment to update everyone on Mrs. Mandypoo and Baby Elijah. Both Mandy and Elijah came home last night (Friday). Elijah is a bit Jaundice and spent 17 hours under the bilirubin lamp. Unfortunately, he had to get a portable bilirubin blanket to take home, and has to spend all of his time under the blanket when he isn't feeding. They will go to the doctor tomorrow to check his bilirubin count and hopefully he can come off the blanket. Fortunately we have a pediatrician with a 24 hour office, so they have a Sunday appt.
Mandy is doing good, but is very tired. Eli is feeding every hour so she isn't getting much sleep. But other than that, she is getting around really well, and adapting to motherhood quickly!

Good luck to both of them. I hope Big E gets healthier and healthier and Mandy gets to sleep soon. (hugs)
