I'm sure you've been wondering why there have been no new posts since Elisha was born. We haven't really been home much. Last Wednesday, the 16th, we took Elisha for follow-up visit with his pediatrician because his bilirubin was slightly high. They wanted to recheck it and make sure he wasn't getting too jaundiced. It was 10.5 on Monday when he and I were discharged. On Wednesday it was 26! That's dangerously high and far to close to needing a blood transfusion. That night, at 4 days old, he was admitted to Vanderbilt Children's for treatment which includes phototherapy and IV fluids. Thanks be to God that he didn't need a blood transfusion or anything more than routine therapy. He left Vanderbilt on Friday afternoon with a bilirubin level of 14. Saturday morning we followed up again with the pediatrician and his level was 11, officially out of the woods where jaundice is concerned. Now they just want him to gain some weight. He lost a pound by 1 week old. Please keep us all in your prayers. We have another pediatrician visit this coming week.
In the meantime, here are some more pictures of Elisha:
This should answer the question, "Who does he look like?"
Yep, definately Wilson genes. Add a beard and Elisha is a miniature version of Granddaddy.
What a face! This one is for you Grandma!
A quick nap together while I got a much needed shower! Elisha might not have his Daddy's face but he does have the hairline! Don't fuss at me. Thad said it first!
Just your average, everyday picture of 3 miracles in one place! Praise the Lord for His great provision!
