Slight delay in hospital discharge

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.
