soli deo gloria | to God alone be the glory
jaundice!
shortly after sammy came home from the hospital, we had to be readmitted to take care of her high bili levels.
we started with a take-home bili blanket
but it wasn't strong enough, so the hospital gave her a personal tanning bed
thankfully, our beautiful baby only had to spend 1 night in the hospital - praise God!
sammy's first visitors
thank you to those of you who came to visit us and our precious sammy! she got a ton of visitors in the hospital, and more people are coming to see her with each new week. we appreciate the gifts, flowers and yummy goodies you've brought us! we didn't get to take pictures of everyone, so sorry if you came to visit us and you're not included here!!
