Jaundice In Rachel

Jaundice was an illness that happened in the first 2 months plus of Rachel's life. It turned Rachel's skin, eyes and mouth a yellow color.

Wayne and I were Extremely Worried about Rachel's condition as her bilirubin level was getting higher very quickly day after day but there were no light therapy or phototherapy was recommend by the doctor.

Wayne and I was very helpless and painful by sending Rachel for blood test everyday, then very 2 days and then every week............which last more than 2 months. This must be a very painful experience for My pitty little Rachel. However Rachel was a very brave baby who never cried everytime when the nurse was taking her blood. Mammy is very proud of you My dear!

The only thing that I can do for you was kept my very best to breastfed you day and night and day and night. We kept a longer worriedness as Rachel was having mild jaundice for a longer time due to breastfed.
