Update on James

I'm just writing a quick post to update all our family and family friends about Erin, Elliot and James. They were released from the hospital on Friday afternoon, but at their first pediatrician visit on Saturday, James informed the doctor about his parents' inadequate tanning bed facilities at home and their refusal to let him lay out by the apartment pool without sunscreen. Naturally, the pediatrician was upset by this as well and readmitted James to the hospital where he could bask in the tanning bed like atmosphere of the bili-lights until his jaundice had resolved a little. With the mediation of the hospital staff, Erin and Elliot agreed to let James have a tanning apparatus at home, so he in turn agreed to come back home with them on Sunday afternoon. Everyone is still exhausted from the whole ordeal, but promise that when the grown-ups in the family have gotten more than four solid hours of sleep and aren't having to take the baby to the pediatrician daily for bilirubin checks that there will be more information and pictures on their blog.

Thanks for the update. We got to see James briefly with our new Skype and camera.

Ah, four hours of sleep...I *dream* of getting four hours of sleep. Of course, I have to dream about in installments of about ninety minutes each, but still, it seems like it would be nice.

Too bad those parents of his didn't already have a home tanning system in place! :) Elliot, I'm cracking up at "dreaming of four hours of sleep!" Fear not, it isn't far away!
