6 days old

rishi is 1/2 oz over his birth weight! he weight in at 7lbs 4.5oz at his doc visit this morning. unfortunately, his billirubin level has risen 1 point so light therapy and as much nursing as possible, must continue. it crushes me just a bit everytime i don't hear 'go ahead and take him off the light!' on the other end of the phone. if his number rises a few more points, he'll have to be admitted to the hospital. i am praying that his wednesday test shows a good decrease and that we can be done with all of this.
