1st doctors appointment

Troy had his first doctor's appointment this morning. When we left the hospital, his bilirubin score was a little high, so we had to go back this morning to get tested again.

When we got to the doctor's office, there were three other newborn babies there that were also born June 2. I think Brian enjoyed talking to the new dads in the waiting room about their first night at home.

When we finally got called back to the room, we had to undress Troy down to his diaper. I felt so bad for him because it was COLD in the room.



He was tested again, and his bilirubin score had gone up even more and his weight had dropped, so the doctor prescribed bili lights for home and to supplement his feeding with formula.

Troy has to stay in the bili lights at all times except for feedings, bathings and changings. It's so hard to watch him lay there and not pick him up and hold him.
