Asher's blood glucose levels dropped again so the pediatrician wanted to keep him overnight just to make sure they maintained a good level. They think they were probably just low because he got circumcised this morning and they are very lethargic for about 6-8 hrs afterwards and don't eat much.
His levels are good right now, but he's still having to get pricked before and after every feeding. Not too much fun... His little heels are really getting the treatment, but he's a trooper. He is now weighing in at 7lbs 2 oz, but is a great eater! : )
He is also a little jaundiced so at least instead of having to come back up for our 8:15 appt to get his bilirubin checked tomorrow, we'll still be here and can get it all done at once. Hopefully he won't need the bili-blanket like Aubrey did.
Steve is at home with Aubrey tonight, so I'm staying in the hospital with Asher even though they had to discharge me. They are letting me stay on hospitality status.
Hopefully, all will go as planned tomorrow and I'll be taking little Asher home as a 27th birthday present to me! I couldn't think of a nicer birthday present. : )
