Jason's bilirubin was elevated at 14.5 - high but no need for bili lights. Jason maintained his weight at 4 lbs 15 oz --feedings continued to go well. Due to my hypertension and his elevated bilirubin, Jason had an ultrasound of his head. The MD (Dr. Ajayi) said Jason is technically not a preemie, as he was born full term at 38 weeks, 2 days but he is considered small for gestational age. The MD said if he was born at 35 weeks (that is what he was measuring at) he may have weighted a bit more but wouldn't have learned how to eat by then. The MD said Jason was making good progress.
Between feedings, Paul and I walked up to my office to see the case management team. It was wonderful to visit and tell them all about Jason! They've all been so supportive!
