The Story Continues...

This morning Duke went back to the hospital to get his jaundice checked after a night on his "billy blanket. Which by the way is as loud as a vacuum and lights up half the room bright blue at night. After an agonizing two hour wait we found out that his count went down to 16.8. The doctor said that the was "guardedly optimistic", and that it was good enough for him to stay home another day. So, tomorrow we will return again to test him. Every time he is tested they have to poke him in the heal and squeeze his heal for drips of blood to fill up a little vial. Poor guy has had this test everyday since he was born and his little heals are so bruised now there is no more clean areas to test him.
Here are some photos of Duke after he was born and some pictures of him on his "billy blanket".
