soren - week 1



A couple of shots from the first week.  Above, Soren in the quilt made for him by Gramma Sam (retirement has allowed for some new hobbies).

The last two shots below are from a short re-admission to the hospital for jaundice.  For those less familair with the term (as uncle Fredo put it, "I looked it up on wikipedia, but I still dont really get it"), elevated bilirubin (blood cell breakdown products) in newborns leads to yellow skin and increase in sleepiness, and it is fixed rather briskly with exposure to UV lights (the blue lights below).  Our admission  was quick and relatively painless, and his jaundice is now improved.
