Our stay extended


After a couple of days we found out that Sasha had jaundice, so she had to spend some time under the blue photovoltaic lights to help break it up and clear her system.

Here she is in her 'sun bed' staying nice and toasty warm. Definetly not easy to see her in an incubator (even harder not to cuddle with her except for meal times) but we were somewhat eased by the constant reassurance that jaundice is quite common and she was likely to be just fine.

We were beyond happy when, after two days, the nurse came in and said the lights could go! Then it was just more waiting 'til her counts were low enough to go home...
