Jack Day 4

Henry made a nice sign for Jack's bed at the hospital. Jack is jaundiced, so he's getting blue light treatment in his isolette too now. The nurse practitioner thought he looked much less jaundiced today, so they are analyzing his billirubin levels this afternoon again. He's eating really well, mostly out of bottles and nursing too. Since he has to "prove" that he can eat a good amount and they increase it slowly over time, we decided to give him all the breastmilk I can produce at this point and supplement formula for the rest. Hopefully he will be onto a straight breastmilk diet very soon!
