John Wesley has arrived!!

John Wesley arrived last Monday 4/14/08 at 1:01 pm. He weighed 6lbs 11 oz and was 19 1/4 inches long. We were able to come home on Wednesday. John was beginning to be jaundiced when we came home and we followed up with his pediatrician on Friday. His bilirubin level was 17.6 and he was placed on a bili blanket and home health was started. Kind of ironic....the pediatric home health nurse needs pediatric home health!! Last night our nurse came back out to draw blood again and we received word that his level had dropped to 13 and we were able to stop the bili blanket. YAY!! I am going to post some pics of John from the hospital today and a few we have taken since being home. Keep us in your prayers as we begin to settle in at home. Love, Amanda
