A week after...

Hi everyone, Jon here. It's been a very busy couple of days since our last post. We were finally discharged last Tuesday night and it was good to finally be home with our whole family. We are appreciative of all the help that God has blessed us with. Since being admitted to the hospital a week before, sleep has been a rare commodity. But we are doing better.

Please be in prayer for Emma. Two days before being discharged, Emma has been diagnosed with Jaundice. It's a condition that most baby's have. The body produces billirubin which is a red blood cell waste product. The liver usually filters this out, but in some babies, the liver isn't as developed and it cannot filter out the waste product fast enough. If the level of the billirubin is too high, it is not good for the baby and the baby turns yellow.

For the past four days, Emma's billirubin count was going up and up. Today, our pediatrician saw fit and ordered for her to be admitted to the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). She will be treated there for the next couple of days.

Please pray Emma's recovery and good response to her treatment. Till then, I leave you with some of my favorite pics of the past few days...
