Jaundice is very common for newborns. In the old days they would lay them in natural sunlight. Today we torture them and they have to lie in tiny beds of light. It is uncomfortable. Anthony is feeling guilt doing it as George screams. It is tough to watch a little buddy in pain and not stop it when all you have to do is pick him up and he snuggles in and settles right down. So Anthony lays next to the machine on the floor in total discomfort trying to soothe his babe. He makes these shh hing sounds softly. I take a turn and hold his Binky for him which is as big as his head he is 5 lbs 0 oz. George is strong. He reaches up and tries to free himself from the spider man mask that must irritate his eyes and head. George then lifts both legs up and swings his whole body over to the side if he had not hit the plastic side he would have rolled over. Salina says "enough-I need to hold him". Every minute spent in the machine is one less holding him at 5 lbs. He is thrilled to be in moms arms free from the mask. He tries to eat but no milk yet from mom so supplements with formula to help flush bilyrubin have begun. There are lots of Georges. King George, Saint George who slew the dragon, Curious George, Geroge Clooney, George Jetson, George C Scott, George Albert Smith, George A Dixon, George of the Jungle, George Bush, But of all the George's I am totally in love with George V Scharrier. Totally completely gaga.
