Video - Hang in there twinnies
Both twins were diagnosed with jaundice today .
The levels were high 210 .
They are now under intense phototherapy at the nursery .
Lets hope its just physiological jaundice.
Jaundice or yellowish discoloration of the skin can occur as early as 48 hours after birth which may last for a week or two .
It happens because of the breakdown of Red Blood
Cells and liver immaturity.
Babies will be dehydrated, lethargic and sleeps most of the time . Its important to hydrate them , continue breastfeeding if possible and exposure to morning sunlight or phototherapy .
Daily blood test is necessary to see whether its increasing or decreasing trend .
That means daily pricks on the skin -
kesian pulak .. and I'm feeling the pain each time.
Hang in there buddies .
Daddy is always there by your bedside .
InsyaAllah things will get better ...
Good Morning Everyone
Love As Always
