Baby Micah has jaundis. Don't worry, it's not too uncommon. It makes the skin look yellowish and affects body organs. But many infants, especially premature infants have this. He is being exposed to Bilirubin lights which causes a photochemical reaction which helps cleanse it from his system. He will be exposed to these lights probably for 2 or 3 days. I think it will be harder for us than for him. The pad he is laying on is soft, so it is actually not that unconfortable for him. Hopefully he will be completely over this is a few days.
