Minor Disappointments

Mike's plan of taking a picture of the boys together in their cute little twin outfits (thanks, Grandma!) probably would have worked better if he had let them have their supper first! :)

The GI doctor called with James's test results, and we were surprised and disappointed to hear that his bilirubin had gone up a little bit, from 4.2 to 5. We thought he'd been looking better (less jaundiced). The doctor explained that these results could mean the bili was about the same (a margin of error in the tests), or that sometimes it just takes a while for the bilirubin to clear out of one's system. However, they want to make sure there's not something else going on that they're missing, so they're going to check his levels again on Monday. One of the other liver function tests they did had improved, though, so there was some good news as well.

Our other disappointment was that we had tentatively planned for the babysitter to come back today, but she ended up having to work at her regular job instead -- too bad!

They told you that there would be days like that, right? I can tell you have already found out who controls the Barr household!

Praying for good reports on Monday!

Love Auntie Ann
