Mason had his first Pediatrician's appointment on May 1, 2009. He bypassed his birth weight and is now 7lbs, 11.5 ounces. We have to watch his Billirubin score as his score is increasing (jaundice). We have a follow-up appointment on Monday, May 4, 2009 to ensure that the score is going down.
To help reduce the score, it was suggested to have Mason sit in the sun for 10 minutes, 3 times a day. Matt and Mason enjoyed the sunshine and both enjoyed being outside and in the sun.
Updated May 4, 2009: Mason went in for his third Billirubin test and this test proved that his score was reducing. The score went from 13.7, on May 1, 2009, to 11.7. Therefore, Mason is free from having to take additional Billirubin tests.
