Thanks Virginia..... I was worried when she was initially admitted but since that first night she's just been making strides by leaps & bounds & I don't foresee her being there for much longer. My oldest son slept all the time too & had a huge appetite to go along w/that. My youngest who also had Jaundice was also a big eater after he got over the Jaundice & now he's a pudgy 30 + pound 2 yr old. I know she'll get out of the hospital before the following week is thru, especially if the nurses will help her to eat more often. The day nurses might, but the night ones that she has tonight & yesterday.........might not. Thank you for the Prayers they ARE appreciated & helping her out. Alli :) > Please keep us updated, Alli.
