We've been in and out of the doctor's office because Gracie had jaundice. No fun! They had to prick her little heels four days in a row to test her blood and measure her bilirubin levels. The levels are finally down to a normal number so she didn't have to undergo any treatment for it. I always thought jaundice was a minor problem that some babies deal with, but it can lead to brain damage if the numbers get high enough. It was a stressful few days.
