In British Commonwealth countries and colonies, medical care is proactive rather than reactive. Two days after checking out of the hospital a government midwife visited our house to check Denver and Mandy (free of charge). She cleaned Denver's umbilical cord area and examined her. She did a simple Jaundice test and said Denver has a bit of Jaundice - and we should bring her to the doctor.

So we brought her to her new Pediatrician. Her ordered a BiliRubin blood test. Denver was at 289 and the cut off is 260. So we checked Denver and Mandy in to the hospital and Denver will undergo photo therapy for a day or two just to be sure.

So Denver is under the "sun lamp" and Mandy is just waiting for her job - to feed Denver between suntans.

It is quiet and lonely here at home without the two. Hopefully Denver's BiliRubon count will be lower than 260 by tomorrow - so they can come home!
