Well, let's see. It's around 3:30 AM and we're here in the NICU, wondering how many more "out of range" alarms we can take before we go insane. Brooke's body temp sensor keeps coming unattached and beeping loudly. Similar malfunctions and the occasional real emergency are taking place all over the ICU ward.
The tiny babies here are producing the most incredible range of sounds, one is barking just like a lap dog. No shit, for real. Another sounds like a howler monkey with a stomach ache, and still another does a great hyena caught in a leg trap. Or maybe it's "Coco locked in a basement".
So picture that zooish cacophony mixed with Monty Python's classic "machine that goes beep", times a hundred, and way after midnight.
It's really surreal.
Brooke's Bilirubin Abatement Program progress:
3:30 PM - 23.4
5:00 PM - 19.9
9:00 PM - 19.2
2:00 AM - 15.4
So, we're getting there. Not sure what the "magic number" is, but I'm sure they'll let us know. Hopefully a small non-trivial integer.
I'll be back later, I have to go reset that damn alarm again...
P.S. The picture of a bunny with a pancake on his head...I don't know why I did that. It's 3:30 in the freaking morning, cut me some slack.

actually Dave the picture almost fits the situation you find yourselves in.........slightly crazy! so glad Brooke's bili is down.....Dylan had bili issues too (hence the drinking cup)and had to go back daily to be poked in the foot for blood checks.....15 is way better believe me!
Jack spent many days in that NICU, it is a scary place.
You just want to hare your cake and rabbit too.
Whaa-at? It's 10:07 pm and I'm related to Dave.
