Jailyn is home!
posted on 04/09/2008
We are enjoying every minute of our new little bundle of joy! The late nights, poopy diapers and delirium from no sleep is all worth having her look up at you and crack a little smile! We love her so very much. Darla, Gizmo and Cloey are so curious about her and want to sniff her to death. They are also very protective of her; every time she cries they are right there making "crying" noises too. It is kind of cute.
Friday we have an appointment with the Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon. He is going to take a look at the Ultrasound films to let us know how serious her Congenital Hip Dysplasia (CHD) is and what steps to take. Please keep us in your prayers!
Also, her Jaundice level has gone down to a normal level for her age and weight. Dr. Arthur (her pediatrician) wants us to come in on Friday as well and have another bilirubin test done to make sure the levels are continuing to decrease. We are exposing her to natural light for about 20 minutes every day and it seems to be doing some good.
We appreciate all of the phone calls, cards and visits from everyone. Things have been pretty crazy around here and I'm sorry if I haven't called you back or responded to your email. I'm slowly catching up.
Well, Jailyn is awake and ready to eat! Have a great weekend! We love y'all
