Glo-worm

The doctors said I was a little jaundiced, so they put me on a Bili-blanket. At least I didn't have to go into that tanning bed they call bili-lights. Mommy said I looked like a Gloworm.


The doctor was worried about ABO incompatibility, so put me on the Billi-blanket even though I was only at moderate risk based on the scale for the bilirubin test. They collected my blood every morning while I was in the hospital - making a small cut in my foot, and scooping up the drops of blood into a vial to take them to a lab.
