DOL 6
Today is Brandon's DOL6. Almost a week old. Can't believe it.
Bili level dropped to 12 today. Great news. He's eating well, sleeping well. Feeding schedule is like clock-work. He gets up 2 hours from his last feeding. To the minute.
Had a visit from Uncle Aaron and Aunts Kathy and Alexis. What a treat.
Daddy leaves today for NYC. He will miss Brandon lots. Mom and Grandma too.
More to report next Friday!

Photo Therapy
Brandon started his Photo-Therapy today. A little reminiscent of the Matrix.
Hopefully the Blue Light will help solubilize the bilirubin.

Day 2
Brandon YoungHyun Lyu. YoungHyun is the name given to him by my father. Literally, it means Young (Flower) Hyun (To brighten). Together, it means to flourish and to be successful.
Brandon spent his first birthday getting his Bilirubin checked. Normal, but borderline. 6.1 (Upper limit normal 7.0).
Some pictures of Helen and Brandon. Look at his lanugo! Looks like a silverback!!
Going home today. Thanks Holy Cross Hospital! Namely: Dr. Roy Khoury, nurses Tanya and Charandra!
