Night two went well for Aiden and Mom. Aiden is very slightly yellow today as the bilirubin builds up. The concentration is about 9 mg/dL which is below the threashold of 12 mg/dL for his age of 40 hours. The count should peak in a few days and return to normal.

Mom is doing well too, needs to continue eating. Platelet count is a little low. Drs will check again this afternoon after iron pill.
