[EDIT] Yea, his bili levels are elevated again. Not go-to-the-hospital high, but well on their way. >.< Annoying, because there's still no medical reason for it to be this way. No metabolic conditions, no thyroid problems, no dehydration, no bowel issues, nothing. So, we're putting him on formula for 24-48 hours to see if that helps, and going back to the doctor tomorrow at 1PM. Boo. The formula part really sucks - it stinks, so I hate it, and it gives Gray horrible gas. Like - rivals Erik sort of gas. Which is kind of scary coming from someone that small. And painful to boot. Boo.
On the plus side, he's finally over his birthweight - up to 7 pounds 2 ounces. Yay! That's a 10oz increase in a week. Boy has been eating like a pig, and including marathon four hour nursing sessions. Of course, when I did try giving him the formula today I couldn't get him to take more than 35cc, when he should be eating more than that, so...I dunno. On the plus side, since it takes longer to digest, Erik and I might both get some sleep tonight...
