More Prayers Needed for Lydia

I am seeking prayer, yet again, for Baby Lydia. She has been having trouble with jaundice for the past few days and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. She has been stuck unsuccessfully in the heels several times over the past few days, as they have been trying to get enough blood to be able to test the bilirubin levels. Today she had to have two more heel sticks and two "needle" blood draws, one in each hand.

The ARNP said today that if her levels were at 16 or higher, she would have to be admitted to the hospital for "phototherapy". We scrapped by today with levels at 15.3, and have to get her blood drawn again on Saturday for a recheck.

Please join us in praying that her levels will have decreased and we won't have to go into the hospital. Thanks All!
