The Jaundice

Well the day we left the hospital the doctor noted that Callum was showing signs of Jaundice. Apparently this is pretty common, but needs to be addressed, as if it gets out of hand it can cause brain damage.

They took a reading the day we left the hospital and then we went back the next day to get another reading. Unfortunately the number jumped up on the 2nd day which of course freaked us out. But by the 3rd day it had stabilized and Callum's skin color has gotten less and less yellow during the last week.

Here is a good photo that shows off the yellow coloring:
