The pediatrician called us around 3pm with the results and said that we needed to take Violette to the ER to be admitted as soon as possible. Her jaundice levels were way too high. She said that I could stay with Violette so I should pack a bag as well. We packed quickly and loaded everyone up again. A great friend (who was there for us during our last drama with Max) without hesitation said she would take Noelle and Max for us while we went to the ER.
Poor Little Violette was given an IV and it broke our hearts! I know jaundice is very common and very treatable, but it didn't stop us from being very worried.
After many hours of waiting and not knowing, Violette's blood work came back. Her jaundice levels were way down from the previous blood work and we could go home. Relief swept over us and we hauled butt out of that place as fast as we could!
Today we spent the day at home not doing much at all. Noelle is utterly in love with her little sister. She assists with diaper changes, burping, changing clothes, holding and comforting Violette...basically every newborn need is something that Noelle has to be involved in. Max has also shown a lot of loveliness towards Violette. His means of conveying his love is not exactly the most gentle, but we know he means well.
Tom is off of work for a few more days and then my sister will be here to help me out the rest of the week. It will be great to have some help for a few more days. I am recovering well, but left on my own I would surly over due it.

Poor Violette! Glad to hear she is on the mend, and thankfully it is just jaundice and easily treatable. I hear how the children are adjusting, what about Zeus?
