Brantley was jaundice when we left the hospital but his billy rubin levels weren't so high that he had to stay in the hospital but we did need to go back into the docs office the next few days to have his levels checked again. Well they came back high and the doc ordered a billy bed for us to take home. This was not fun at all. In fact I hated it. He had to lay on this bed while it shined lights on him all day unless I was feeding him or changing his diaper. We ended up cheating a little and took him outside to get some sun light that way so that we could at least hold him some. I personally think that the sun helped him more then the bed did. We found out after we returned the bed back that they did not give us the upper part of it and it wasn't fully affective. We had to be on this bed for 4 days total but luckily he is fine now. Glad that is over with!
