Two days after Kadence was born, the doctors decided that her billirubin levels were so high that she needed to have light therapy.  So she spent roughly 16 hours (from Sunday evening to Monday afternoon) under the lights in the nursery at the hospital.  Every two hours the nurses brought her to me to eat and then she had to go back under the lights.  She did not like this, especially on Monday, so the nurses actually allowed me to sit in the nursery with her so I could hold her hand and let her know mommy was there.  I was in the nursery when they finally got the call on Monday afternoon that Kadence was good to go home!  They were still concerned about the elevated levels and her weight loss so we were scheduled for a doctor appointment two days later.
