"Glow Worm"


For five days after coming home from the hospital, Jonah had a severe case of jaundice. He turned a lovely shade of pumpkin and the had to be turned into a glow worm to be returned to a normal color.
There was a fiber optic pad that was attached to a machine with a three foot cord. He had to have it on at all times unless he was getting changed or bathed. You can imagine how much fun it would be to maneuver around the house. We were visited every day by a nurse named Bridget and she had to draw his blood (out of his heel). That experience is something I would love to forget. Thank God we did not have to leave him in the hospital, but we are glad it is over just the same.
