Yesterday we met a two year old named Trey in the waiting area at the doctor's office. The only words I heard him utter were "fuck dat" over and over, as his gradmother whacked the back of the chair he was sitting in repeatedly with her cane, then escalated to slapping him on the hand. Then he stopped.
We got billirubined again, and yesterday's number was 16, but on day 4 they treat at 19, so no treatment. Just a prescription to go to the ER for another measurement Saturday. Dillo's weight was up to 8 pounds even again, a good sign, and we'd supplemented with forumla only once, not enough to bring his weight up that much.
Overnight we fed him regularly and gave him an ounce of formula after every other feeding, and he pooped twice in the evening, so I was hopeful that the levels would be down or stable this morning. Nope, 18, so we have to go in to the ER and monitor AGAIN tomorrow.
Still supplementing with formula. I have reached the blood stage with both nipples (nobody said breastfeeding was for wimps!) but the milk is in and he's getting letdown even if I'm not dripping all over the place.
I hope tomorrow the numbers are lower, not least because it's a pain in the ass to go to the ER (the ped's labs are closed on the weekend.)
Jaundice. Fuck dat.
