Jaundice

Baby Isabelle was found to have jaundice on day 4 of her life. She was brought back to Sunway Hospital to check on her Bilirubin level. The result wasn't good. Her Bilirubin level registered at 245 which was beyond normal. She had to be admitted immediately for photo therapy. My heart ached as I saw what she had to go thru at such young age...

She stayed over a night and Peter had to ferry my breastmilk to the hospital a couple of times, just to make sure she had enough supplies.

Baby Isabelle was discharged the next day at around 3pm. Over the next few days, we made sure she sun bathed in the morning.
