Conner has been a very sick little boy. Friday afternoon, he started throwing up after every feeding. By the end of the night, he was very groggy, wasn't eating much, and his breathing had become very fast then he would stop breathing for about 10 seconds. We took him to the ER around 10 P.M. Friday night and we came home this morning around 10:30. We spent our weekend in the St. Mary's NICU with their wonderful staff and neo-natologists making Conner as good as new. When we left the hospital the first time, on Tuesday, Conner was very Jaundice. His levels were pretty high. He was sent home with a billi-blanket thinking this would kick it. Well, I guess he was just too tired to fight it, and became very tired and was having trouble breathing on his own, so we went in Friday for a little help. He was dehydrated from the vomiting and he was having trouble breathing all due to the Jaundice. They put him on the Billi- lamp in an isolet and his billi levels went from 17.9 to 10 in a few days. When we came home Monday, he was like a new little boy. He felt so much better, his breathing was better, and he was more wide awake than he has been . He was a very sick little boy and he scared the crap out of Steve and I. He broke us in this weekend. We are very happy to be home and that Conner is feeling better.

I'm so glad to hear that little Conner is feeling better! Hopefully his jaundice is gone and you can settle back into some kind of routine! I'll continue to keep your family in my prayers!!
