We’ve had to step up the battle against the jaundice here today. His biliruben count went up again yesterday so after some checking with the doctor and following up, he decided to send out a light treatment. We’re very thankful for the medical staff that has been helping us through this ordeal and very thankful for the home health care worker that braved the weather (not sure what it is like where you are today, but here we are iced in with a sheet of ice) to get the light treatment machine out here. As you can see by the photo, he is simply glowing (literally). The other issue we’re still dealing with is Jo is still not cleared to drive. We went over yesterday for the blood test that was going to clear her to drive and when calling for results found that the lab ran the wrong test, so we need to return next week for another blood draw (and Ben will need checked again as well).

As a side note…many of you have asked about the bathroom progress, well, we were progressing nicely, but over the last few weeks the taxi service has brought an abrupt end to any progress. Stay tuned for details as we try and squeeze that in as the holiday festivities and parties begin to fill up our schedule.
