Wow... those first few days were sooo stressful and wonderful all rolled into one.

Before we left the hospital on Friday the 8th, we were told that Cason had a little jaundice. Dr. Johnson, our pediatrician wanted us to supplement his nursing with a little formula (about 1 ounce) and then bring him into the hospital in Hendersonville on Saturday, the 9th, to have his Bilirubin tested again. If it was still high (too many red blood cells in his system), then they may have to admit him for treatment to get the number down.

After a very sleepless night for Cason, Mommy and Daddy - still adjusting to being in new surroundings, and all of us still learning about each other - we went to Hendersonville Medical Center and had Cason's tests run again. That little boy is a CHAMP!! They had to cut his heel to get a blood sample and the little man didn't even budge!! Such a trooper for a new guy... =0)

Luckily the tests came back fine, but Dr Johnson wanted to see us at his 1 week "birthday" for a follow up. LOVE our pediatrician!! (These pics are from Jan 9 - also Uncle Clayton's b-day!!)
