When I was dressing Noah to go home the pediatrician came in and explained to us that Noah had jaundice and that he may not be able to leave the hospital that day. I took it hard - All I wanted was to take my baby boy home and start life as our family of three. I was devastated to hear he may not be well enough to leave with us and I knew I could not leave him there without me. After a few hours of deliberation and upon the doctor's approval we were allowed to take Noah home with a billy blanket - a fiber optic light blanket that would help flush the bilirubin from his body and help his jaundice heal. We would have to return each morning to the hospital to have his blood levels taken. It was such a relief to know that our little man would be going home with us! He was dressed in a super cute puppy nightgown, hat and socks I had picked out not too long after we found out we were having a boy and wrapped in a matching blanket.
