Status good

Things apparently calmed down from this morning. He’s doing pretty well. I forgot to mention in my last post that his third and final Bili light is gone! The lights, used as phototherapy to help break down the bilirubin in his blood, we necessary but they blocked our view of him in his isolate chamber. They also gave the appearance of a whopper being warmed under a heat lamp – just not something you want to associate your little guy with. Here’s a recent photo of Jacob. He squirms and flails when he gets uncomfortable, and seems to calm right down once his hands find his face, a tube to grab, or whatever. In this photo, he’s found his own arms, and calmly posed for this shot with arms crossed.
