Jaundice

We found out today that Easton's biliruben levels were extremely high and that he was suffering from Jaundice. The doctor ordered us a biliruben light bed and he has to stay in it all the time unless I am nursing him. We have to take him in first thing in the morning to get him tested again and we are praying so hard that the light bed and extra nursing will flush out all that bad biliruben from his system. Would you pray with us?


Easton has to be in this bed all night tonight and Shawn and I will have to take shifts being awake with him...we can't (obviously) let him be alone or unattended while in the bed. 


My mom was here today (thankfully!) and Shawn's mom had already planned on coming down tonight to stay with us for a few days, so we are very blessed to have help from the grandmas.



Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 
Philippians 4:6
